EndBASIC has been featured a few times here before (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31651881, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37495166), but today I want to show you something different that I've been working on for the past 6 months: the EndBOX.

The idea is to create a toy-like device that:

* boots fast into EndBASIC,

* feels playful and hackable,

* and is focused purely in experiencing (graphical / game) programming in simple terms.

Just you and a BASIC command line---with some DOS touches.

You'll find pictures and full details in the announcement blog post (https://www.endbasic.dev/2025/06/unveiling-the-endbox.html). And if you're at BSDCan next week, come to my talk that dives into the OS---or find me for a live demo!

Right now, I'm trying to figure out if there's enough interest to turn this into a real product: kits, prebuilt devices, maybe even a small production run. It feels kinda crazy to pursue that, but also very exciting to make it real for others.

So, here is where you come in:

* What would you want from a device like this?

* Is this something you'd ever use or gift?

* What would make it even better or interesting?

Thanks for checking it out!
