Chewy design! 😁

This is similar but different to the Hackaday solution:

It would be worth his looking at the Sensorica business model:

sensorica.co/ventures

They only work on OSHW, but the people working on the hardware get paid for the designs, and, then use localised manufacturing for the distribution. 😁

It gets the overall energy-costs down per end-user, but still means that the engineers involved can get paid a fair rate. 😁

peer into the future - Ventures

All ventures are open and collaborative. They are forkable and remixable. Some ventures create products and services, but not all ventures engage in market transactions, some disseminate their production through alternative means.

there's some dodgy JavaScript halfway down that page that crashes my browser 🙄

Anyway, this is the type of projects I'd definitely give to if they crowd fund!

this looks great but it's just a single module, right?

If someone wants to read braille, I imagine (but I don't know, I'm very happy to be corrected) they'll want to move their finger along the word or phase and be able to go back and forth if needed.

Wikipedia reckons most braille displays have 40-80 characters, while some note taking devices have less.

If he can still keep it cheap and robust with that many characters then great!

Why not boycott #mastodon for its insensitivity while you are at it?

You can write pages and pages of text and place it in an image, but actual characters in comments and "alt" boxes are restricted to a couple of paragraphs by default. And this is because they try to emulate twitter looks and functionality. 95% of server owners either refuse/defend the choice or pretend it is hard to change
