it's a pinephone with the keyboard case attachment running postmarket os with phosh

that's the best option i've found because the keyboard has a second battery in it twice as large as the phone's and this distro has separate readouts for each in the menu

i don't really have anything else installed on there i actually use except the text editor

I'm so jealous. I'm currently lugging a five pound laptop to writing meetups. How's the readability? I keep the text as miniscule as possible when writing, but like it large while editing.

If only they still sold those, the keyboard case I mean. Granted the Pinephone is probrally gonna be discontinued soon as well.

There are other micro keyboards out there, but probably not quite as well integrated. They just use bluetooth, so any keyboard will be compatible with any phone that supports that, which is almost all.

As far as I know theres only one other micro keyboard thats as integrated

what is this? :3

Its called clicks, it supposedly makes your phone feel like it has a proper keyboard. However since its integrated through the usb port and full case it only supports a few phones :3

What is a writerDeck?

A writerDeck is a device dedicated specifically and solely to writing. Technically, a typewriter is an analog writerDeck. But usually we mean some sort of computerized word processor, such as the Astrohaus Freewrite or the Alphasmart Neo, to name two of the most popular mass-produced versions. But these tend to be either too expensive or too limited for many writers, so many of us build our own.

The term “writerDeck” comes from “cyberDeck”. People argue over what counts as a cyberDeck, but in practice it basically means “a weird cobbled together computer, usually without a mouse and usually homemade, often with a retro-futuristic, cyberpunk vibe.” So a writerDeck is just a cyberDeck dedicated to writing.
