If anyone wants to get an idea of where I am coming from though: I've spent most of my paid time using Python, Java, Rust, C#, and a bunch of scripting in Ruby and Bash. While my experience is skewed towards backend development I'd consider myself predominantly a generalist and have written my fair share of React/Solid.js/Angular by now. The domains/fields have been finance, enterprise applications, machine learning & AI, and generic web-application stuff.
Nowadays, it's mostly Rust, Postgres, Solid.js, and GraphQL that get the job done.
The idea I've had has been to do some dumb things with the Spotify API that I'd have some utility for but it's so simple it feels like an errand.
Another idea, but that was more for message-passing in Erlang (or Elixir) was about having a more or less emergent Pokémon clone wherein the Pokémon will fight each other in the wild and evolve and perhaps have maturity cycles during which they reproduce etcetera.
The third is to chomp through Lisp In Small Pieces.
All "fine" ideas, but as of yet I haven't felt any pull to me.
People more well-versed in Lisps, is there anything that'd be a joy to do that we other plebeians might consider a headache with our current toolbox?
Initially, I looked at the Nokia Tough 800 but was saddened to discover it came pre-loaded with Facebook, Youtube, and other such apps. Having access to those makes it a non-starter for me.
Initially, the device seems like a good option as it supports hosting a personal hotspot which would make it feasible to have a secondary device such as a pad to use apps such as Swish and BankID which are somewhat fundamental in Swedish society.
However, through work, I have an iPhone so in theory I could transfer the SIM between devices as necessary (?) and bring the iPhone along as a camera anyway.
My ideal device would have had Swish, BankID, and Spotify but no web browser but that seems impossible. I guess I'd be fine with GPS+phone+SMS. If it is somewhat robust too that'd be swell as I'm a rock climber among other things.
Might be able to address the music need by buying a secondhand iPhone Touch or something... The Mighty Vibe seems disappointing.
I've tried using stuff like Freedom to tend myself toward digital minimalism and not have to have several devices but haven't been super successful in that regard yet which is why I'm exploring this avenue now.
Suggestions for dumbphones + device combos would be desirable.
Thank you.
