This reminds me of this book I read a few years back -https://www.thomasthwaites.com/the-toaster-project/

How much work actually goes into the cheapest toaster the chap works to make every element from scratch into a toaster.

Bizarre coincidence but on way back through town today on lunch break saw several volumes of Tintin in a charity shop window and took it as fate after reading this article.

I am glad the book was found in the end, I had a similar case that took me years to track down. My great grandmother used to always send on christmas a Penguin Classic childrens book and 100 brand new pennies in a handcherchief - for years I tried to track down one of the books describing wolves crowding round a dying explorers fire - which turned out to be White Fang by Jack London.

its been a while since I read some of this book and enjoying it, and I remember it refering to 3bit computing in the soviet era but it might be right up your street https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262534666/how-not-to-network-a-...

I really like the idea, but as a left handed person I found it needed to have a keyboard shortcut accessible from the right hand (maybe this can be an option in the menu?)

I think this is spot on - how many times have people (and I include myself) stopped on a project that is even remotely public facing because it isn't perfect-grade work before you've even learnt the first steps?

Thank you for this, I am very much an amateur comic artist and prefer "analogue" methods so this list of items is exceptionally helpful for items I haven't seen before4 / didn't know the name of.
