Looking at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33222687, and inspired by https://www.thirtythreeforty.net/posts/2019/12/my-business-card-runs-linux/ and https://pockit.ai/, I'm wondering what it would take to create actual cards with something like Pi Zero or even Arduino based logic, implementing basic Unix commands, data structures, and I/O (keyboard, lcd, BLE<->smartphone app, etc); the goal would be that each card is sub-$1 and ideally significantly less (for the basic cards, some might be more), and the target market would be some combination of education, fidget/puzzle toy, and perhaps just a fun to interact with these kinds of components in a satisfying tactile way. Could also have a way to convert to a running program. Thoughts welcome.
