Just wanted to share. What do you think? Everything is pretty much hardcoded right now, and no app is implemented yet.

I used slint for gui, coding in rust. One of my career goals is to learn rust, so this was a good opportunity (I mostly do kotlin/java).
That being said, I have no idea what I am doing when i comes to rust, code is probably s**t

Hardware wise, only screen and keyboard are working for now. The goal is to support rp2040 and then later rp2350 should be easy

Actually implementing all these apps is probably a pipe dream, but we shall see

It’s beautiful and very reminiscent of PalmOS. Nice work!

Very small update for today:

  • Input now works fully
  • Pressing shift shows the other page of bottom menu options, if available. F keys will eventually perform those actions
  • Refactored a lot to be able to use async with embassy
  • Creates startup screen (no real functionality, shows for 1s on startup, just because..)
