    I made a silly but fun WriterDeck that lasted about an hour before the cheap powerbank fried my Pi Zero. Then, like a dope I figured I could make it work with my Libre Computer Le Potato and the thing fried my touchscreen. Sent the battery back and got an old-ass refurbed ARM ChromeOS tablet instead (Lenovo 10e). Even if I can’t get full Linux working (and I’m informed this one supports it), *and *even if it’s slow as molasses, this use-case should still be fine. I will also be printing a "case’ to shroud the DIY keyboard from the picture. It’s based on the same PCB as one of my favorite DIY boards, so it’ll be a nice one to use with a portable device. Outemu “mid-height” Black and a no-stabilizers layout.
