The plan is to first figure out how to legally market, distribute, and sell this physical thing. It's more difficult than I imagined as you can read in my blog. Feedback from Hacker News has been invaluable to me during this process. I will replace the placeholder website as soon as I can start accepting payment.


But you're still not saying what it is you're selling.


It's a computer based on BSD, but with no WiFi, no BT, no screen, and no ability to play movies or games or music. And it's all programmed in C - not C++ or Rust anything similarly memory-safe-ish.

So RPi, but more vague and vulnerable and less useful. And maybe more expensive?


genius!


It's a physical thing! /s


It just seems an odd approach. I’m not that interested in reading your engineering blog if I don’t know what it is you’re trying to build.
