would anyone be interested in a series of text posts intended as a gentle introduction to electronics? I'm no expert, but pre-pandemic I considered myself a Software Guy For Life because every experience I'd ever had with electricity and computer hardware had been a nightmarish ordeal (derogatory), and over the past couple years I've discovered that they're a nightmarish ordeal (complimentary), and actually fairly easy to get started messing around with if you've got ideas for things you wanna do.

i have a bunch of kits sitting around that I always say I'll 'get around to' but never do. I'd love to get either the push or to live vicariously
happy to be a reader appreciating you sharing a thing you're into! it is unlikely I will put any of this shared knowledge into practice, however
I'd read the posts and maybe do something with the new info.
I'm intimidated but interested in this topic, so a "gentle introduction" sounds very very good
I would be interested! I'm in a similar kind of spot, I've mostly tinkered with software and don't know where to start with hardware. Maybe this would make me dust off my raspberry pi and start some nonsense™️
yes yes yes, i've always wanted to dive into hobby electronics
