I leave a picture of my setup that I previously posted in Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/o16nfa/pretty_please... This is a BOOX Note Air, with Termux + Mosh + TMUX and my editor of choice Emacs DOOM. I'm pretty happy of this setup. I went in holiday and I manage to use my editor to do some coding.

Hi, if I can ask, what is that keyboard? My local electronics chain had it listed as "Raspberry keyboard" but it's no longer available and I've been looking for it for months.

I also have a BOOX note Air, and I am very happy with it. I even installed python and Jupyter LOCALLY. I had no problems processing a few millions of primes in milliseconds. However, the display is not good enough to program as growing code often requieres to fast refresh the screen while browsing code or following stacktraces, which is quite uncomfortable. Also the lack of syntax highlight but I guess some people could get used to those.

Oh, hi all! I didn't my project to show up here today! This was just my private notes-to-self I'm using to organize a group to create this thing.

These notes haven't been cleaned up to be public yet (near the end it gets particularly messy and the memory map has changed from the state shown on this page), but oh well, it's been found!

I will answer any questions you may have.

And if you want to help make this, my email address is in my profile. Programmers, electrical engineers, testers, documentation... whatever skills you have, I'm sure you can help!

This seens to be an unpublished, unfinished, unindexed document about a nonexisting product whose project status I am very confused about, yet the concept is absolutely intriguing.

The concept is beautiful. I would use it as a main machine. The idea has already been approached, but the realization of a specific machine for that has never been tried. Do you know the project author? ex: https://github.com/olup/kobowriter

I'm the author. I didn't find that this hit HN until I woke up this morning and saw it here so missed out on replying to comments until now.

Yes, you hit the nail on the head! This was my (private :-) notes-to-self for the project that will be launching as a public project soon. If you want to help, email me (address is in my profile!)!

If I could afford it I would buy an Onyx BOOX Max Lumi https://onyxboox.com/boox_maxlumi It can be used as an external monitor for your laptop or desktop via HDMI port according to https://onyxboox.com/files/manuals/BOOX_MaxLumi_User_Manual.... Screen Size 13.3 inch Resolution 2200*1650 Is it actually good enough to do real work on? I don't know, but I would be willing to try. Certainly looks interesting. https://www…

I own one, it's a true three star experience. It's completely unique in its class as it's a true e-ink display at A4/Letter scale and even has two monochromatic backlight sources, one without any blue light. That rocks. It's a near-perfect reader and digital notepad and that's what I use it for. The software however is bad. Did I say bad? It's laggy, it's supposedly Android but not really. Lots of apps only work semi…

Out of how many stars total?

Not that I can see, here's the wiki: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineNote, the discord has a lot of info as well (that's where I saw it)
