#103Super impressive, and awesome to see that you were able to use Framework Laptop hinges. Let me know if you need more. We have a ton of remaining 3.3kg ones!

#104Have you thought about finally adding a split ergonomic keyboard to a laptop instead of the standard slab?
That's a sick idea too! Wouldn't be too hard. I'll keep that in mind never thought of it before even though I've used my fair share.
There was a very old ThinkPad design that allowed the keyboard to take more space than the width of the laptop, but that was also bad old non-split layout
But at least not wasting existing left/ right side space and having a gap in the middle instead would be a nice start
Or maybe even get to the best of the portable/non-portable worlds: since the keyboard is wireless, you could detach 2 halves of the keyboard and place them on a desk at ergonomic shoulder distance
And this would allow you to also ergonomically position the laptop itself for a better screen position - vertical, just like your desktop monitor

#105This may be the coolest thing I’ve seen this year. Wait, it’s January? This may be the coolest thing I’ve seen this year and last.
And possibly the year before.
Well, well done. Good luck to you!

#106If you can do something like this, then you'd be great at Factorio! :)
On a less joking note, I wonder if I'm decent at Factorio, I could learn this.

Hey Nirav, super super honored that you saw this! I've always looked up to you guys for inspiration and guidance. Thank you for the offer! Although I probably won't be mass-producing open-source laptops like you (i have a framework 16!), I would love to meet you. Would that be possible?

Thank you so much for your kind words!

#109Earlier quoted context omitted.
My hat is off to you, good sir. Way off. This is an unbelievable accomplishment, doubly so given that you're still in high school (!!!), triple-so given the time you did it in, quadruple-so given that you did it all yourself, etc etc etc. I was reading this over thinking "this guy should be working for Framework". It would be a total win-win.
Thank you so much! I'm currently working for Keychron!
If you do decide to look at framework, I can help you get your resume in front of a high level decision maker. I agree you'd make a great fit with framework.

#110Hey you didn’t mine the rare earth minerals! This ain’t really from scratch!
Just joking, incredibly impressive!
