    Neat! I have one better though:

    <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Post-it_note" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Post-it_note

    * Works during power outage

    * No battery!

    * Very few remote attacks possible

    * Very little attack surface

    * Accepts multiple input technologies (ink, crayon, and so on)

      &gt; Post-it note

      * Produces paper waste

      * Easy to lose

      * Clutter

      * Limited space

      * Can run out of stock

      * Not searchable&#x2F;reusable

        * not vibe-codeable

        * unlikely to hit the front of HN

          And also:

          * Potentially a mimic

          It&#x27;s just not worth the risk.

        paper waste &lt; e-waste

        loss is almost costless

        ok, I give you that the lack of ctrl-f is a bad thing.

        post-it notes are edible with no discernable side effects (recommend no more than 5 per 24h period, preferably 0)

      Fair ofc :) This is more intended as a tech demonstrator and a bit of fun, although we have been using it for the weekly shop..

      A gentle breeze from a running child unsticks any sticky note we have anywhere, how do you deal with that?
