Funded within 5 minutes, soulscircuit are clearly onto a winner here with their upcoming Pilet open source modular mini computers powered by the Raspberry Pi 5.
You’d be better off using SSH into a VPS and using a CLI editor from your phone. Better perf, can use any keyboard you care to bring, and no extra cost to you.
Yeah I’ve seen this thing before and think it’s a neat design but not really worth funding tbh. In the end it’s just a Pi with a screen too small to be useful and a keyboard that would be terrible to use. Do we really need to fund more plastic crap? They could just put the designs online so people can 3D print them themselves, and put it on a service like pcbway for people that want a high quality version. People already do that all the time.
If they would design an interface for it as well, that would be really cool. Then it could be a useful thing definitely worth funding. But with a vanilla Pi Linux the user experience would be terrible.
I feel this way every time something is made like this. Like, you’re not reinventing the wheel in any meaningful way. Is it cool? Of course! Is is something that makes the task easier and/or better? No, not really.
Anyone that thinks they’re “coding on the go” with something of this form factor is kidding themselves.
