I deliberately put it in JS so no one would think to buy it.

EDIT: Cue the jokes about posting "anything worthless."

The question is whether YOU ever typed them (or anything else) on a typewriter? If yes, what kind of typewriter was it.

Maybe we can start a thread of which typewriters one used:

I'll start:

Brother
IBM
Olympia
Hermes

(probably more, but I wouldn't know the names).

Typed in Hebrew and English.

And while we're on nostalgia lane, which Hebrew DOS PC wordprocessors did you use:

WordMill
Einstein
Mince

When we had a (manual) typewriter, my older sisters never let me near it. No idea what the brand was. We did have a digital one (Canon) brand after that - you had three lines before it printed out to change mistakes (!!).

Ask Lego, that’s how they market it. Perhaps because 18 is the prevalent demarcation point for adulthood  and their target audience is adults.

This idea is DOA IMHO.

It’s very niche, it’s for professional writers.

IMHO it needs a 5 line display (at least). A built-in printer and OCR scanner would also make it more useful.

Chromebooks work well as typewriters?
Why wouldn't they?
