Your "article" reads like four or five separate blog or facebook posts scrunched together with no rhyme or reason. And it has the setup of a clickbait article, luring you in with a question, going on about a bunch of stuff not related to it at all, and then finally approaching the question at the very end but never _really_explaining it. Complete with a link to an unrelated software project and a separate link to donate to you (and we're donating for ... what? A VR input method you didn't really explain and has nothing to do with the headline?)

As a blog post for a random tech friend people follow, sure, that's fine. But I don't understand why this was posted to hacker news, and I don't understand why people voted it up.

I answer the question: to see how hard it is to work on a tablet.

Why: because desktops aren't widely available in the developing world

The "unrelated" link is a suggestion on how to write fast without a keyboard. Something that might come in handy for a non-desktop machine, don't you think?

Although I'm very interested in your "Chorded Typing" article [0], I too admit to being confused by the article listed here on HN. Personally, I've roamed the world with a Galaxy Tab 2 7" (3G version) on rooted Android 4.x. I used a mini USB keyboard, and developed quite a bit of software on it (mainly nodejs at the time, but not exclusively). I upgraded the system in 2013 to a MBA (better battery, bigger screen, prettier OS IMHO, but lost mobile data), & didn't continue with it. Fun times.

Thank you. Well what I'd like to do is to make it possible to do it without a bluetooth keyboard.

So I'm looking into alternative ways of doing this.

The chorded input method is interesting in conjunction with say a all in one android VR-headset and haptic glove input, where you have all ten fingers.

What kind of software did you develop was it on a commercial basis or on open source projects?
