Maddie Reese explains that her motivation for building the printer project was to create a more physical way to interact with people she knew online. She shares that the project was inspired by a desire to bridge the gap between the digital and physical worlds.
“Honestly, I just wanted some way to, like, interact with people that was kind of more physical because everyone that I would have been talking to about these kinds of things, I, I knew online.”
“Like everyone I've been talking to about vibe coding and AI, apart from my dad. I had been talking to online and I wanted some way to kind of bring that into the physical world.”
“It was something I knew couldn't be too hard, right? Like, people people use printers all the time.”
