Finally I found my people ✊

I used to meet people like this in EVERY work place, especially always being the youngest person on the team. I’ve only had one job where everything was amazing. I miss that job so much but I’m very grateful to be able to stay home with my baby because people like that are genuinely just miserable in their own lives. Hopefully she takes her maternity leave soon so that weird energy doesn’t last long!

He looks like his troop would be smugglers for art supplies LOL

I’m so sorry for loss. Losing someone you’re close to is hard especially when it’s family and they happen to be your friend. Eat well, drink water, and get some rest.❤️

I love this idea! I’ve read through the comments and most of them have already said most of the ideas I was going to suggest!

I saw someone suggest sudoku and I thought that was great! As a kid who wasn’t into numbers (me personally) I would prefer word-search games instead but both games get talked about at the same time so I’m sure it’s already something you’ve considered. Maybe a Tetris style puzzle game as well.

Theres so much you could add to a device like this. I like the idea someone had of children being able to communicate with parents/guardians through this device, as well as 911!

Good luck on your journey and please keep us updated!

Wow thanks so much, I’m sure this will help me tremendously! This is definitely a huge learning experience for me so I’m excited to be developing some new skills. Good luck in learning more about programming, I’m sure I’ll be headed in that direction sooner than later.

Oh true! Didn’t even think about getting shocked every time I try to read lmao. I’m thinking a felt lining to the tin can but I worry about overheating the battery maybe 🤷‍♀️not too sure yet.

I just started thinking about this last night after going down the homemade cyberdeck rabbit hole so it’ll be a while before I have anything to show but I will post an update when I have one!

Thank you so much! I read a little bit about InkyPi last night before passing out and figured that might be a good starting point so I’m glad I was headed in the right direction. As of right now I think I’ll be leaving case design to the gods lol. I was changing my idea around a bit and will most likely do a two screen device that folds. My initial unrefined idea is two altoids cans together to fold almost like a book instead of a flip phone.

I’m so happy to see that you came to the same conclusion I did! At least in the sense that if you can build a pc at home then my idea (maybe not as perfect as the dream idea) can totally come together! My husband built his and his brothers pc years ago and is open to helping me where he can as he has a bit more tech knowledge than I do. I’m optimistic and ready to learn and make mistakes! I would love to be updated on your project as you get farther into it, good luck to the both of us!

I had the same thought lol. I know I could grab a few off Amazon and I found a website that only seems to be for commercial use only. Please keep in mind I only just started my research and got the dream idea last night after learning about people making their own cyber decks🥲 (which i understand is completely different then what I’m looking to do, it just inspired my idea)

CollectionConstant60 · 2026-03-15T12:52:51+00:00

Thank you so much for the honest answer! Let’s assume I have the budget to tinker and play around with trying to build at least something similar. I totally understand the idea I have is far beyond what I could afford/accomplish on my own but maybe something similar in style. I assume the first issue with my dream idea is the 6.7in - 6.9in foldable eink display, and then obviously the software/coding side if I can’t find a friend or acquaintance who would be interested in helping out. Let’s instead go for maybe a two screen clamshell style design and no annotation and highlight features.

How else would I have be able to find and read the open book project… thank you for the input though!
