Andy Matuschak demos Printer Friend, a thermal printer that turns speech into paper slips
JeremyNguyenPhD · x · 2026-09-26
Andy Matuschak showed off his Printer Friend: a thermal-printer gadget that quickly transcribes speech onto little slips of paper, useful for card sorts, capturing open loops, and marginalia. It leans on the satisfying speed of thermal printers with auto-cutters and a dedicated mechanical key; a reply raised BPA concerns about the plastic. It's a low-cost, print-and-toss physical capture workflow demo.
