That video is really neat, seriously, well done!
Jupiter Ace: a ZX80 with a Forth ROM. Inspired me to port an 8080 FIG Forth listing to the Camputers Lynx back in 83.
Well somewhere between a ZX80 and a ZX81, it had a better video system than either, but at the cost of dedicated video ram (IIRC)
That's cool, but why not use the native colorForth keyboard layout?

I would love a full sized keyboard made with those keys.
That aside, I will probably buy one of these. It is the ultimate nerd fiddle toy. Brilliantly done.
Now THIS is a cyberdeck. Its janky, cobbled-together nature and Forth "OS" give it that postapocalyptic feel.
It's great, this is the kind of content I look for in HackerNews, I'm so fucking tired of LLMs and AI posts
I would appreciate some extra markings on the keycaps for chords and numbers, and a sans-serif font, but this looks awesome as it is.
