Pockit showcased a tiny modular computer built around extendable components. It felt like a reminder that small form factors can still be flexible if the interfaces are clean.
I read it as a hardware craft signal. Modularity scales down when the connectors are right.

Core claim
Modular design can survive even when devices shrink.
Reflective question
How much modularity do users actually want in pocket devices?
signals
- Modularity remains attractive in constrained hardware.
- DIY ecosystems still drive innovation.
- Small devices can still be repairable.
- Interface design decides extensibility.
my take
This is a reminder that hardware innovation can be small and still meaningful. It signals that repairability and expansion are still valued.
- Design: Interfaces define modularity.
- Signal: DIY builds are still product R and D.
- Risk: Small scale makes parts fragile.
- Value: Flexibility builds loyalty.
