Well, given I can’t demonstrate Kitten (codeberg.org/kitten/app) on a PineBook Pro due to lack of HDMI out, I just ordered a CrowPi L since I have a Raspberry Pi 4 lying about unused.

crowpi.cc/collections/crowpi/p

Got the advanced kit – want to demonstrate how you can do Small Web dev on this thing. And for education… imagine kids making a web site that displays sensor readings (humidity, temperature, etc.) :)

(Note: this is in no way an endorsement of spycop-hiring Raspberry Pi Foundation.)

Codeberg.orgappA web development kit that’s small, purrs, and loves you.

…And on that last note, I’ve been trying to find alternatives to Raspberry Pi – would be very interested if folks have any leads… especially to boards that can be used for education.

@aral MangoPi might be an option; it’s a cheap RISC-V board with performance characteristics not completely dissimilar to RaspberryPi. Connectors are USB-C and Micro-HDMI though.


I have one, but haven’t done anything with it yet. Software is…hard to find.

@amanda Thanks, Amanda :) And yeah, software seems to be the issue with alternative boards.

@aral for some reason software seems to be a lot harder than hardware (pun not intended for once in my life)
