This is my full interview with Geekstrada and Helaas, the two developers behind Leaf, the custom firmware for the MINILOONG Pocket 1 (which you might have seen Russ cover a couple of weeks back with a video, if you're into the retro handheld scene).

We chat about how they came together, why Leaf exists, the thinking behind its development, the Colorway Studio you might have used when buying Retroid's Nova, and the community growing around the project. It's a long one, but there's plenty in here about the people, ideas and tinkering behind Leaf.

I know these kind of interviews can be a little niche, but I think that so often people use these apps, programs, projects and builds without knowing the people behind them. I think I'm up to over 60 interviews now, so this is my tiny project of remedying that. Hope some enjoy it :)

I love these interviews. I don't even have a device to run Leaf, but I enjoyed reading this anyway.

    Thank you!

    That is such a nice comment to read :) I don't have one of Miniloong's either, but this duo's infectious enthusiasm really has me considering it.

    Really glad you enjoyed reading along, you're who these articles and interviews are for :)
