@jwo There have been *many* attempts and all appear to fall short because they keep targeting vibes rather than engineering. A modern “digital typewriter” like the Zerowriter (https://zerowriter.ink) is infinitely outclassed by a 90s #Alphasmart DANA (https://mateuszurbanowicz.com/2022/06/29/retro-writing-10-alphasmart-dana) in every measure. Like all things, _we are going backwards_. The #PocketMage (https://pocketmage.org) is interesting as a homebrew device but it’s still light years away from even a #Psion 3

This kit gives the AlphaSmart Neo2 more of a portable typewriter-like design

The AlphaSmart Neo2 is a portable word processor that was released nearly two decades ago as a device that provides a distraction-free writing experience without all the extra stuff that comes with a full-fledged laptop computer. With a small greyscale LCD display, a full-sized keyboard, and compact design, it continues to have fans.

But that doesn’t mean it couldn’t be improved. WriterDeck […]

I won an auction and I got an #alphasmart neo 😁

Now I can let my son focusing on writing a book with without the needs to use the laptop!

I love low technology! 🫶

there's nothing quite like #writing on my ancient retro word processor #writerdeck while sitting on the balcony and watching the sunset. pure bliss :3

#AlphaSmart #AlphaSmartNeo

it's really funny and also cursed how this thing transfers text to your computer

you hook it up via USB and it acts as a keyboard right? but it literally spits out the entirety of the text in the file when you press "send." like a ghost typing. so you have to open a text file on your computer and let it retype everything one letter at a time xD

incredibly cursed but also very future-proofed i hear :3

#AlphaSmart #AlphaSmartNeo #writing #ADHD

holy shit so word processors for distraction-free writing are the fuckin BEST yo

modern ones like the freewrites are SUPER goddamn expensive but this ancient thingy right here? legiterally from like nearly 20 years ago!!! they were used in classrooms so you can find em secondhand very cheap... but IT. WORKS. SO. GOOD.

i've been able to get into the zone writing and ACTUALLY STAY THERE FOR A MEANINGFUL AMOUNT OF TIME. i can't do that on my laptop. i get so fucking distracted so easily. but this forces me to focus

i've just been writing journal entries on it so far. gonna do that every day i think. to flex the writing muscles and all that. it makes me actually wanna write. i get sucked into it totally. it's so good. if you're a super ADHD writer like me who struggles with staying on task i cannot recommend this highly enough

(Testing the #AlphaSmart's "Send" function...)

"The career of (Humphrey) Davy had possessed for me, since infancy, an overmastering fascination. His father's foible of lycanthropy, his mother's descent in the direct line from Attila, had touched my imagination." -- E. CLERIHEW BENTLEY

(You've still got it, AlphaSmart!)

Okay, just swapped out my BT keyboard for the #AlphaSmart 3K, and it's a much better typing experience. Fits my typing style better, and I'm less inclined to accidentally hit the Caps Lock key. The trade-off is having one more (short) cable on my desktop.

My #AlphaSmart 3000 keyboard has worked with every device I've owned, right up until the introduction of USB C. Won't work with my phone or my camera.

#PhantastikPrompts 20.02.25 Frage an den Autor: Welche Programme nutzt Du zum Schreiben? Warum?

LibreOffice oder Word, wenn ich etwas digital festhalten möchte, aber nicht an meinem Schreib-PC bin. Ansonsten Papyrus Autor wegen der Stilanalyse, dem Duden Korrektor, der Charakterkarten und der Lesbarkeitsstatistik. Auf Reisen: Alphasmart Neo

How to #print to a cheap USB thermal receipt #printer from your #Alphasmart Dana

#writer #writing

Turns out printing to a USB thermal "portable receipt printer" from an #Alphasmart #Dana works :) I think an 80mm instead of a 58mm would have fewer line-break issues.

Thrifted a small-ish TV and now have my #RPi 5 properly set up. Waiting on the correct power supply, but the one from my Pi 400 works for now.

Using my #AlphaSmart 3000 as the keyboard, because I like the typewriter-y feel of it.
