Cyberdecks have been popular for at least a year or so, but, yes, not sure why this one in particular made it to the frontpage.
Hackaday has quite a bit of cyberdeck projects on their blog, here:

I am guessing part of the appeal is having a portable device with a QWERTY tactile keyboard that does not have a locked-down OS.
Also, it is much easier to replace a damaged screen when compared to an iPad.
- nanna 5y ago> not sure why this one in particular made it to the frontpage Because of HNs connection to Lisp via Paul Graham, but also because Lisperati1000's creator Conrad Barski is a bit of a legend in Lisp circles, having authored Land of Lisp (LOL) http://landoflisp.com/ http://landoflisp.com/ Of LOL, PG said, "Turns out the border between genius and insanity is a pretty cheery place". So now you see why HN holds the Lisperati1000 especially dear :)

- nanna 5y agoHow could I forget! "Simple but refined, guaranteed to blow your mind! The Land of Lisp. Minimal and sleek but so clever you'll freak! The land of Lisp." Now I too eat parentheses for breakfast, and lunch. (Or at least I aspire to.)
- daniellarusso 5y agoThank you. I did not make the association with viaweb. Yay RTML. I now have a deeper appreciation for the ethos of his particular cyberdeck implementation.
