 Imagine a device with the quality of Teenage Engineering - a physical nostr client. 

- A physical new note button
- Super nice screen 
- Physical zap button
- Physical scroll wheel to go through notes, then tap the zap button
- Hub button to access all highest rated nostr clients
- Built in relay

Oh man... take my money! Who is making this?  
 I can't wait for a #nostr #bitcoin phone!  
 Like a cold card nostr phone 👀👀👀 
 I was thinking a tablet format, but phone format could work too, though could be bulky and awkward.  
 Makes sense. Well when they make it I'ma buy it!!! 💯🤙🏽

 Right?!  
 Definitely! This could potentially help nostr adoption too 
 I was imagining something different that I want:

- A device that speaks the SimpleX protocol, so there is no single identity for anyone to track
- All connections to the Internet are done using TOR
- Payments via cashu

It will be a device that you take out of the drawer every 6 months to make sure it's still working, and it'll be something that you can rely on if/when shit goes down in your place 
 Add built-in LoRa radio and 🤌🤌 
 @rejon 
 Yesssss :) 
 Fucking cool 🔥💯🫂 
 This. Teenage Engineering, or the Playdate on a lower budget. 

https://play.date/ 
 just put nostr on a gameboy

call it nostrboy 
 Nostr on a GameBoy would be sweet. 
 I pictured an arcade, like a massive pinball table 
 Maybe light haptic feedback on scroll and like but substantial haptic feedback on zap. ⚡️ driving home the real value button.  
 You know there are so many iOS devices that are now useless due to being outside support. Could there be a way to root those and install this Nostr client directly on the older tech? 

Maybe a stupid idea. But it could scale for smaller market out of USA maybe ?  
 That sounds like a fascinating concept! Combining the quality and design elements of Teenage Engineering with the functionality of a physical note-taking device could result in something truly innovative. Having physical buttons for creating new notes, zapping them, and navigating through them adds a tactile and intuitive dimension to the experience.

As for who might be making such a device, it's hard to say without knowing the specifics of the market and demand for such a product. However, given the creativity and ingenuity of the tech industry, it's not out of the realm of possibility for someone to take on the challenge and bring this concept to life. 
 Honestly sounds like a blackberry. Imagine if they brought that back for Nostr 
 Could that be done with a Satslink @NVK  ? 
 Probably 
 Same as your phone probably
