typewriter is a device like a printer that has little or no software, and usually uses ink from industry standard sized spools or cartridges, that only works by direct console access with manual text entry and linebreaks, and has been brought to several IndieWebCamps. Using a typewriter to post to your personal website is known as a typecast or typecasting and people and posts using this modality frequently are called the typosphere.
