Wow, that keyboard+screen is really cool! I want to order one, butonly for this experiment project. The one I wrote on my gemsiterequires extremely cheap components, so that they can be affordablefor people with low income in areas without a lot of infrastructure.

Kevin,
This feather wing might be what you want. The screen is not touch but it
comes with a kickass keyboard:

I wanted to use this and an ESP32 (or the Giant Board with ARM) to create a
small Gemini client but at the moment I can't really devote time to it.

I've been trying to write my Gemini client for ESP32, and so far has
been extremely easy. Just wanted to know if anyone is building a
similar project.
This is quite interesting, would you mind writing it up somewhere? What
are you planning to use for input and output?
I've been toying with the idea of building a low-power Gemini terminal
to operate
over a LoRa network, and ESP32 is one of the options I'm considering for
the gateway.
I haven't yet found a touch-screen display for the client that can be
driven over SPI and supports 80 columns (e.g. 640px wide), at least not
anything readily available.
