on the hardware/software movement we're seeing (plz read):

I've long encouraged communities to build their own products uniquely suited to their purpose and membership. Have written multiple times about the things @boysclub could produce if able, and finally we're seeing the team show this curiosity in public explorations.

My own push to build devices and interfaces specifically for creators is a combination of urgency and accessibility. 

You're going to see a lot more specialized products as ideas become possible not just to design but easily prototype and then make real.

this is really cool to see — but hardware feels hard to get into if you don’t have the experience — how have you been finding that?

for me I'm thinking about more low-tech, low-cost designs which still provide creative value. there are emerging tech hubs to utilize as well. gathering DIY-types and new maker spaces shouldn't be impossible in a place like this.
