Oh, hello! I made this. If you've any questions just shoot :)

If you share this on r/mechanicalkeyboards, you will be loved.

My favourite hn comment of all time. Finally, engineering and humanity meet at a sweet spot. (Yes, I’m enjoying this a bit too much.)

After you have typed your text, what options do you have to get it out of the machine? Can it connect to a printer? Save to some permanent storage?

I can ssh in and sync (I could get it to sync automatically, but haven't been bothered). Hurrah for R-Pi.

[ I was thinking of connecting it to a thermal printer, but honestly I have enough bits of paper lying around my room already... ]

You use this for journaling, but I was wondering, do you think in toki pona and type out the thought, or do you have the thought and translate it as you type?

This journaling system would make a nice mobile app.

I’m reasonably fluent in it, so I can keep an internal Toki Pona voice going - the main bottleneck is my typing speed on this keyboard still (on a regular qwerty keyboard I can chat realtime fine with people in Toki Pona), but hopefully that’ll improve with time!

tenpo wan la sina weka ike e nimi "e":

taso sina wile sitelen e "jan li sitelen e toki pona kepeken supa nena seme?"

mi pona e pakala (tenpo kama lili la pakala li kama weka lon lipu mi :) ). pona tawa sina!

This is awesome! I'll learn toki pona just to build and use my own :)

pali sina li nasa pona kin.
