      Even though I still have a lot to write, it’s incredibly rewarding to see it becoming real in this way. (Footnotes! Illustrations!)pic.twitter.com/NFoXZEYG9r

      I even cut my own font (based on one of @djrrb’s excellent fonts) to depict the keys.pic.twitter.com/f2L3CTzml7

      Printing one copy of a book is not so hard, and not really expensive, either. (I explored it last year here: https://medium.com/@mwichary/my-experiences-printing-a-small-batch-of-books-c04141b63dfe?source=linkShare-b55535a4ac78-1494626685 ….)

      Here are some screenshots of me working on the “key font,” which is so much fun, even though I am basically just adding a rounded border.pic.twitter.com/YNt0tJyp42

      (It feels like difficulties with styling inline text just follow me from project to project. Also see: Medium underlines.)

          (Let’s see if I can get Optimus keyboards, FingerWorks, rotary phones, BlackBerry, and the iPhone into one coherent story.)

          I researched it a bit. Is there anything interesting about Newton keyboards? (There’s handwriting, of course, but this seems out of scope.)
