Its about 2 cents for a coffee(10k sats ~= 7.6 usd), or 0.2%.

Versus 1.5-3.5% that visa typically charges.

Or the better formula: Find a small niche you're passionate about, thats too small for the large companies but perfectly reasonable for you and small/mid size team.

Nice video. There have been some modern hypercard attempts, has anyone used any of those? They seemed pretty promising during the wave of "no-code" just before LLMs entered the scene. But hypercard still grants users the joy of creation, which is mostly lost when interacting with an LLM.

Hey this is pretty cool! Have you thought about putting it online? I've occasionally used tools like Adobe's color scheme finder, where you upload an image and it suggests a fitting colorscheme derived from the photo. Though honestly theirs doesn't perform too well.

Yours looks like a nice improvement.

Impressive memory optimizations. Streaming out converted pixel values was a neat way of pulling off the "framebuffer" without having enough memory for storing all the 16 bit values. Solid engineering.

Far more people / companies are designing PCBs than there are designing custom chips.

I had the same thing. Tested on desktop for others in the game boat: its a story about repairing an old macintosh. Some pretty nice scrolling effects.
