  • Ask HN: Nobody interested an open hardware iPod Nano?
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Feb 2024
    So here is the thing: The iPod Nano 7g is from 2012. I've seen many people designing custom PCBs and releasing Kickstarter projects for custom audio players[5] or game handhelds[6]. I know Rockbox (which is great, but its lacks support for Wifi and Bluetooth AFAIK and just does not compete with the UX of iPod's audio book features in my opinion) and iPod Linux. 10 years ago someone even reverse engineered the iPod Nano 6g display[3].

    Although I'm not skilled enough in PCB-Design, after some research I found the Lilygo T-Display S3 Pro[4] based on ESP32 S3, which would be the size, but lacks audio and OS. There is also the Mango PI CyberPad[7], which looked interesting, but maybe is already too clunky.

    Programming wise, LVGL[8] may be a good framework to develop a modern and efficient UI - at least it looks promising.

    So, why is nobody interested in recreating an iPod nano like device? It should be doable with modern tech, but Phones have completely taken over the marked...

  • Ask HN: Funkey S – open hardware / firmware portable device, project ideas?
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 14 Sep 2023
    I thought with some modifications (touchscreen, audio jack) it might be possible to create a small, affordable and hackable replacement of my iPod nano (see my github issue[5]).

    So I would like to Ask HN:

    - What would you think of a retro portable audio player mod?

    - What other interesting projects could you think of for this?

  • Mobile gaming perfection
    1 project | /r/UnexpectedSteamDeck | 19 Jun 2023
    For actually playable gaming, consider the Pocket Sprite, but for GOD tier mini-gaming, the Funkey S is just out of this world. Playstation emulation (and many others) in keyring size. Just insane.
