Announcing the Framework Marketplace

I would love the option to purchase just one of the three parts of the power adapter package at a time.

Congrats! @ctl, In case it was missed, the ANSI blank keyboard version is missing the price currently (from both the catalog page and the product page):

Seems like the English International Keyboard is the ISO standard, but the English International Input Cover is the ANSI standard. Was that by accident?

Is there a roadmap shared somewhere or is it something that will remain internal to Framework?

@speckledsea - Good catch! It’s now updated.

I didn’t see this before, thank you! The clear keyboard certainly is tempting! While I personally think the keyboard already feels great, would this allow for (budget allowing) different switches? More curious about the possibility, not that I want to use something else!

It caught me by surprise how very slick everything felt! I think they did a great job with optimizing it here without making the design fundamentally unfamiliar for touch screen (mostly mobile) users.

Oh wow! I think this is the only computer store company that has part by part market place in your face. I love it!

There’s going to be a lot of Theseus Frameworks before long.

The idea of this is part of the reason I love the idea of the framework laptop so much. Over the last decade, my desktop has saved me absurd amounts of time and money because it can be and is a total ship of theseus. I’m so glad that reality has been brought to laptops, and I’m especially grateful that Framework continues to follow through on their promises and champion their ideals through their actions, as they’ve done with the marketplace.

Seriously, all the love and praise for the @Framework team!

It only makes sense that this option be available for laptops as well.

Even though I don’t need them, I’m thinking about buying a bunch of spare parts just because to support it!

Which parts are available?

As upgrades to the main-board and screen become available, the projects that the old components could support are going to be the most interesting thing for me.

It would be awesome to see different color selections available for the keyboards. I’d love to get a matching bezel and keyboard. It would give the machine a nice personal touch.

@Mike_Morden A white, blank, keyboard would be best. With some surface-prep and a can a spray paint you could really go nuts with it.

As cool as that would look I’m to dumb to use a blank keyboard. Lol Agreed though that would look sick.

Just received my order(s) from the Marketplace today. Just in time as several of the modules I had are already changed into specialized ones prototyped for my work.

Now all I need is a bezel to get busy with, as I have a modification in mind for it as well.

You have our attention now… Can we learn what your intentions are? Will it be purely visual changes or would you be making functional adjustments too?

It is a functional change… Sort of. More than that I don’t want to say at this time.

Ah, well, that’s better than nothing.
I hope it goes well for you! I have a feeling that it (at least in concept) will be a great “modification”.
