#distraction-free-writing

Trying to write on a laptop means fighting a machine that is also a notification box, streaming portal, and social feed. Distraction-free apps help, but they still live inside the same browser-and-tab chaos, surrounded by everything else your computer knows how to do. Some writers just want a device that only knows how to produce plain text and does not care about anything else happening in the world.

I started with the Boox Palma 2 because its E Ink screen and limited connectivity could make it a solid distraction-free solution if paired with a good keyboard. After a lot of research, the keyboard I settled on was the NuPhy Air60 V2, with the company's heaviest tactile Moss switches and the gorgeous NuFolio case in "nostalgic tan," which is really more of a bold yellow. Now, I am no connoisseur of mechanical keyboards, but I find the Air60 V2 to be delightful to type on.
