Cheap Yellow Display Dreams of PDA

What happened

At least you won’t end up doomscrolling. That’s right: turn it into a Portable Digital Assistant and relive the glory days of Palm with this project from [sau412].

For those readers who are too young to remember, a PDA was basically a phoneless and cameraless smart-phone, and devices running Palm Corporation’s Palm OS ruled the roost for most of the 90s and early 2000s. [sau412] hasn’t written an emulator or port of Palm OS; rather he’s created his own firmware for the ESP32-based CYD that is inspired by the PDAs of yore, and has many features you’d have expected back in the day.

That contains a Gopher browser, to let you check out the undying alternative to the World Wide Web . Everything from ebook readers to translators, all of it by [sau421].
