My partner is a novelist and owns two of these. She's been drafting with them for a little over a year and swears by them. She says the appeal is that you can't go back and read more than a few lines so you just kind of go and then edit later. I also think the appeal is the keys themselves. Similar in feel to an old Thinkpad.

- retzkek 6y agoI use an Atreus [1] as my daily keyboard, and Phil has been experimenting with various forms of "cyberdeck" based on that [2,3]. Something like that, with a minimalist emacs config like [4] would be an awesome portable writing device. 1. https://atreus.technomancy.us/ https://atreus.technomancy.us/ 2. https://atreus.technomancy.us/decklog https://atreus.technomancy.us/decklog 3. https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberDeck/comments/d2rwp1/atreus_deck_mk4/ https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberDeck/comments/d2rwp1/atreus_de... 4. https://github.com/rougier/elegant-emacs https://github.com/rougier/elegant-emacs
