More Enclosure News & A Funding-Goal Reduction!
Last week, we decided to equip all ShaRPiKeebo units with a free enclosure—to thank you all for your support—but we still had some design decisions to make, so we tested several different variations. See below for more details on our latest enclosure design. We have also revisited our financials and determined, in consultation with Crowd Supply, that the $25k we've already raised is enough to move forward with the project. ShaRPikeebo will ship!

We Have Liftoff!
We are now crowdfunding ShaRPiKeebo, a HAT that transforms your Raspberry Pi Zero W or 2W into the ultimate tiny Linux computer. With a physical QWERTY keyboard, a daylight-readable screen, Wi-Fi support, and a long-range transceiver, ShaRPiKeebo lets you pack some serious system administration tools (and some not-so-serious games) in your jeans pocket.
