I use my phone a lot, most of it for reading on the go. I also hate to do
anything else with my phone. I have spent a fair amount of time thinking about
why, but now I think I've a lead.

I **HATE** typing on my phone. It takes too long and often filled with typos.

This makes sense, I adore my phone for consuming media, reading, watching
(short) videos, mastodon. But hate doing anything else, because well ... typing.

I don't think its a problem that can be solved by [strapping a keyboard to the
phone](https://www.clicks.tech/) but I'd certainly try when its available for my
phone.

I recently had a chance to try the [mnt pocket
reform](https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/pocket-reform), its a fully open source
small form factor computer with a compact mechanical keyboard. This definitly got
me restarted thinking about on-the go computing.
