Hello HN!EndBASIC has been featured a few times here before (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=31651881">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=31651881</a>, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=37495166">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=37495166</a>), but today I want to show you something different that I&#x27;ve been working on for the past 6 months: the EndBOX.The idea is to create a toy-like device that:* boots fast into EndBASIC,* feels playful and hackable,* and is focused purely in experiencing (graphical &#x2F; game) programming in simple terms.Just you and a BASIC command line---with some DOS touches.You&#x27;ll find pictures and full details in the announcement blog post (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.endbasic.dev&#x2F;2025&#x2F;06&#x2F;unveiling-the-endbox.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.endbasic.dev&#x2F;2025&#x2F;06&#x2F;unveiling-the-endbox.html</a>). And if you&#x27;re at BSDCan next week, come to my talk that dives into the OS---or find me for a live demo!Right now, I&#x27;m trying to figure out if there&#x27;s enough interest to turn this into a real product: kits, prebuilt devices, maybe even a small production run. It feels kinda crazy to pursue that, but also very exciting to make it real for others.So, here is where you come in:* What would you want from a device like this?* Is this something you&#x27;d ever use or gift?* What would make it even better or interesting?Thanks for checking it out!
