All lowercase text is so hard to read.

i didn't find it hard to read, personally

perhaps the author is anti-capital-ist?

having an entire separate alphabet just to mark the start of sentences, and proper names, does seem extremely wasteful

on the microphone, it looks like quite a delicate process

i've modded some cheap aliexpress microphones (eg following https://audioimprov.com/AudioImprov/Mics/Entries/2015/12/20_...) but i'd want to see some measurements or reviews before embarking on something like this one

Is this basically just the inverse of an electrostatic speaker? I've seen DIY builds of those using very thin films coated with some electrosensitive solution - would that work as an alternative for the foil/leaf used here?
