Richard Hotline

This is a project born out of frustration to the expectation of immediate reaction of instant messaging which results in always having to be connected. It is like a system that I have to conform myself to, but what if that system can conform to me? I wanted to find to make the digital world come to me instead of me having to seek the digital. Also, making people jump through this hoop makes the messages feel more personal. Learn more at hotline.therichard.space

Design & development

Autonomous work - Interactive installation

The printer has a built-in web server with a management interface.

Technical info

This service was built using Typescript, NodeJS and React with styled-components, Framer Motion and Google Firestore. The print server was built with Python and runs on a Raspberry Pi with Docker.

I'm currently working on adding transactional emails, a 'confirm receipt and print'-button and an audio alarm to the printer.
