Hello Ben.
It would be cool and nerdy to build a pop up lcd screen that pops up when u start up your rpi.
the thougt in my head is like a slot loading system. Imagine a lcd in a dvd rom.
the hole system in a 3d printed box witv some slick laser cuts panels.
maybe install rpix86 onto an raspbian os?
Make it supersmall as possible.
i hope with my bad english that you understand little what i mean.
iam a true fan of yours and watch your vids almost daily on the tube.
you are a great inspiration.
