    + low power

    + daylight readable screen

    + accepting a wide range of (unstable) power source (incl solar)

    + long lasting diy replaceable battery

    + modular design with embedded open source drivers (f-code)

    On power up:
    + boots into a #ForthOS
    + command line & frame buffer UX
    + text editors
    + compiler, decompiler
    + monitor, debugger,
    + full documentation + source
    + boot loader (on halt/crash return here)

  2. @h @vertigo I have managed to rebuild my #ForthOS and make screenshots of the built-in text editor (vi-like). There is one command (ZS) to switch between a normal screen (code ) and a shadow screen (comments): mastodon.social/media/zRKsFuCU mastodon.social/media/Ez_4bCuB

    That is how two alternate streams are handled in a classic Forth block editor
