Tinker WriterDeck

https://liliputing.com/tinker-writerdeck-os-turns-nearly-any-old-laptop-into-a-distraction-free-writing-machine/

Convert any laptop and most chromebooks into a writer deck.

A device designed solely for writing.

No distractions.

No internet.

No apps. No games. No social media.

Just writing.

These seemed appealing to me at one time, but don't seem as interesting to me over time, it's like they try to purposely make the devices less useful

I still yearn for an affordable pocket laptop clone of the Sony VAIO P series

I suppose I could ask, does anyone know how I could DIY a wired keyboard in the chiclet (compact) laptop style? All the DIY keyboards seem to be mechanical keyboards which are giant keys (and less pocket-able). I suppose this is essentially what I want, is the right size keyboard that could attach to like a phone that could go in my pocket, and I never seem to find them

  • I think the DIY chiclet keyboards aren’t popular is because working with the scissor switches is a pain in the ass. I’ve never seen one either and I don’t know about foldable keyboards for phone.

    I recently read a post about something like this OS a few days ago for old Apple PowerBooks to get some use out of them as a minimalist writing device. I would t have any use for it but it’s a nice way to recycle an older laptop if you’re a writer.
