Apparently the article was not written in a way that can be understood by all. I can give you that.

It's good to have feedback and in the future I'll take into account that some people have problems comprehending text.

But to say that you can not parse a sentence and that it's illogical doesn't make sense. That is like saying that you read a book in Greek, didn't understand it and still claim that the content is invalid. Do you follow?

Thank you. Well what I'd like to do is to make it possible to do it without a bluetooth keyboard.

So I'm looking into alternative ways of doing this.

The chorded input method is interesting in conjunction with say a all in one android VR-headset and haptic glove input, where you have all ten fingers.

What kind of software did you develop was it on a commercial basis or on open source projects?

oh I have. Initially I used a bluetooth keyboard. Which is an acceptable solution.

Lack of dev tools in chrome and firefox is an issue though.

Also a better window manager would help a lot. Less animated transitions and more i3/fluxbox like functions.

Now I'm "dogfooding" in a sense so that I can hopefully get some input on how to create a better prototype.

I don't expect to be able to make an equivalent of an desktop IDE or whatever but rather to create experimental solutions to whatever problems that might appear.

First of all an autocomplete that works on the input and output of the terminal would be great. Say if you run ifconfig the output would be automatically added to autocomplete.

Key sizes ia a problem as well where it's easy to miss keys. So I'm toying with the idea of a dynamic keyboard (which has draw backs) with sizes in accordance with Fitt's law.

That doesn't really answer how you can fail to parse a formulation and still draw a conclusion regarding it's logical validity.

In what way?

I answer the question: to see how hard it is to work on a tablet.

Why: because desktops aren't widely available in the developing world

The "unrelated" link is a suggestion on how to write fast without a keyboard. Something that might come in handy for a non-desktop machine, don't you think?

First I go through steps of computer evolution: desktops -> laptops -> tablets

When desktops became popular in Sweden computers where rare in say South America.

Now computers are not rare in South America, which is good. The bad thing is that they are common in a consumption only format.

The problem is UI in particular text input. The solution use say gloves as input and VR systems which I predict will be cheaper and broadly available.

Until that happens a huge amount of people are stuck with smart devices, so I'd like to improve the situation. To get there I'm doing my work on a tablet to get a good idea on what works and what doesn't. Why? Because I want teenagers in the rest of the world to be able to have fun with computers as I did.

I've been eyeing the rpi as well. Here's the thing though I'd rather use it with gamepads or haptic glove input and with VR headsets. This would mean that it truly would be mobile, i.e. you could use it on an airplane!

How can you tell that the reasoning is bad if you can't parse the sentence?

Also had this not been written with two thumbs, maybe the result would've been better. Embarasing as it may seem, it just goes to show the unsuitability of tablets for productive use!

Normally I have spellchecker for times like these but unfortunately she's sick :( Didn't expect to hit HN frontpage before she had time to look at it.

This is what I am using! Couldn't cope with it. As a wm substitute of sorts I use tmux. VIM really helps out a lot as well.

correct

I am starting out by using what's available so that I can apply the lessons later. As I'm in that phase naturally there are no answers.

Does that make it clearer?
