Good idea! Maybe we should start a newsletter. There is a Matrix bridge to our Discord now.

That would be really cool! But we may not meet the MOQ to get all those colors made

The CNC version will definitely involve some screws to make it more secure

Thanks!

Yup! It should be a drop-in alternative. Other SBCs should also work but requires a bit more tinkering with the software.

We haven't done extensive testing or optimizations (i.e. sleep, idle power down, etc.) yet. But with the stock battery of 2000mAh and Pi Zero @ ~80mA idle, it should be around ~20h always on. We're estimating a week of battery life once the optimizations are implemented.

Get the Beepberry and play games with friends across the globe (via WiFi)!

Corrupted storage is a pain :( The Beepberry firmware can safely shutdown the Pi before disconnecting power, so hopefully that will help with SD issues. raspi-config also has a read-only overlay filesystem option now.

It comes with a battery. No case included for now, but you can 3D print your own with the STL files. Later on we will offer 2 cases (CNC aluminum and plastic).

Yes! We made Watchy as well, we love open source hardware :)

Thanks! We plan to offer 2 cases (CNC aluminum and clear transparent plastic) once we're happy with the design
