The C project is a bit special to me. It's also something people might actually use - unusual for one of my projects! It's for #Psion #EPOC16 and would enable a huge number of old games to run on the Series 3a/c/mx.

I was hoping to use NeoVim, but with clangd being awkward, I'd have to use VS Code.

Right now I just want to make some headway with something. I've struggled with my projects over the past few months, and I'd just like to feel like I'm getting somewhere with something.

I feel it! Although there are a few of us enthusiasts running around, I bet there are zillions of 3/3a/3c/3mx machines sitting unloved at the back of drawers around the planet that deserve to be let out in the open again. Genuinely each time I fire one up I find something else to be happy about.

(Although we need a cheap mass-market connectivity method to get data on & off the units, like your sidecar - instead of a soap on a rope, a Pi on a tie or something...)

I do keep thinking about this! I just don't have the time or mental space to work on it alongside all the other projects I've got lined up for myself.

Same - maybe some day we'll recruit someone who can ;-) It still astounds me that I'm able to use my 3a for things that are a total pain to try to do on PC or phone. The gap is real. Keep up the brilliant work!
