DeskHog
Full kits coming soon. DIY version available now.
DeskHog is an open-source, 3D printed, palm-sized slice of developer joy
Open-source
We're open-source, and so is DeskHog. It's yours to hack. Build your own games and tools with AI editors (or C++ if you're a masochist).
3D printed
Danilo prints these at home and assembles them by hand. It's a friction-fit labor of love. Or you can print your own from the files on GitHub.
Palm-sized
DeskHog is small enough to fit in your pocket. It's got a 10-hour battery life, WiFi, and a cute flashing LED so you can find it in the dark.
But what is DeskHog really?
It's a teeny, tiny, beast.
DeskHog packs a ESP32-S3 Reverse TFT Feather in a custom-made 3D printed case. It comes complete with a 240x135 color TFT display, a 10-hour battery life, WiFi, and a cute little LED.
It's a hand-made micro games console. It's a desktop terminal for PostHog data. It's a friend.
Can it play Pong?Yes.Can it play Flappy Bird?Yes.Can it play Doom?...We're working on it.
Want more hardware? We included an I²C expansion port, just for people like you.
Of course, we're making some games for it too
We're still nailing down the launch lineup, but you can build your own while you wait
It will also have important business tools
(A great excuse to expense your DeskHog purchase)
Your phone and data are DeskHog's best friends
DeskHog can get online via a captive portal and pull insights from your PostHog projects. Scan the QR code with your phone to connect and link data to the Insight Keeper-upper.
The DIY version of DeskHog already supports simple insights, like big numbers and trends (squinting required), but we're working on more. And we're open source, so you can help!
