The DeckZero-Alpha is a minimalist, Raspberry Pi Zero-based “decklet”—a pocket-sized, text-focused computer for organization, writing, and coding. Eschewing modern distractions, it uses plain text, command-line tools, and manual syncing. Its quirky, retro style and deliberate simplicity make it a refreshing, practical antidote to bloated devices, embodying a philosophy of focus, portability, and playful tinkering.
