RasPi Developer for Offline Bilingual Writing Product
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
“I need a Raspberry Pi developer who can configure a distraction-free offline writing laptop. Must support Hebrew + English typing, saving to USB, and printing. No internet access fundamentally. Looking for someone who can deliver a bootable Pi OS image and step-by-step setup instructions.” Enable Hebrew + English typing with correct fonts & keyboard switching.

Configure bilingual typing (English + Hebrew) with proper fonts, RTL support, and easy keyboard switching.
Disable all internet access permanently (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet).
Editing Environment

Show page breaks, margins, and page numbers.
Print preview so the writer knows where the page ends.
