I spent a lot of time playing with a similar tool in Deluxe Paint as a kid.

I think you're right :-D

It's insane that in 2026 signing and encryption of emails still isn't the norm, but as long as the business model of the largest email vendors rely on us not having it, I guess we never will.

It runs independently of internet and power. One use case is a group of people in a remote area (hikers, hunters) carrying their own node and being able to communicate via text over several kilometres.

I think it's mind boggling that in 2026 encryption and signing of emails is still not a common thing, only because it's Google's business model to snoop on their users' email. For that reason we can't use email to send sensitive data and need apps for every little thing that could have been an email.

At least here in Norway, if a Tesla is involved in anything, the headline will make sure to mention it.

When you describe your product as "<different product> for <some domain>" you've already failed. When was the last time that worked!

Bank transfers are not instant in Norway at least. There is a popular peer to peer app called Vipps that handles all of the complexity for you. If somebody's at your door picking up the couch you sold online you can't wait for the bank transfer to go through.

Shaving the head is zen :)

But you're right, it is a lot of work that it would be nice to be without.

The War of Art - about overcoming that nagging resistance to getting stuff done that we all feel.
