Hi HN,
As a weekend project, I hacked together a physical phone, a Raspberry Pi running Asterisk and Twilio, to let toddlers safely make international calls.
I’ve documented the setup in this write-up and published the code + Ansible playbooks on GitHub so others can replicate it.
I built this so kids of expats can easily stay in touch with family on other continents.
Would love feedback from anyone who’s worked on something similar or tries building this themselves!

Show HN: I made an esoteric programming language that's read like a spellbook (Score: 151+ in 1 day)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6DqDv
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6DqDv
i made an esoteric programming language which i call spellscript.
every program is a "spell" written in a "grimoire," and you have to use keywords like summon, enchant, inscribe, and conjure.
it's literally read like a spellbook because the syntax consists of all natural language, and newlines are optional. your code can now be an essay, like everybody wants!
for example, if you want to print something, you'd write:
`begin the grimoire. inscribe whispers of "hello, world!". close the grimoire.`
it has variables, dynamic typing, arrays, functions, conditionals, loops, string manipulation, array manipulation, type conversion, and user input, among other (listed in the docs!)
but why? i wanted to see how far you could push natural language syntax while still being parseable. most esolangs are intentionally obtuse (BF, Malbolge), but i wanted something that's weird but readable, like you're reading instructions from a spellbook, which makes it incredibly easy to read and understand. like an anti-esolang? hmm...
