I found a diy txt reader that I am working on and was wondering if there is something similar but can write programs on without using other computer and has multiple other purposes/functions.
Also want something were I can insert external memory to read simple files and run programs.
The more discrete parts that can be used the better.
I do not want something too big but something that can fit in a pocket.
Thanks if you can help.

I would assume there are Raspberry Pi mods to turn them into a mobile computer, but it sounds like you're just describing a modern smart phone.
looking for 8bit, prehaps 16bit diy computer if such thing is possible, something primitie but not to primtive, like an average 80s PC but portable. Raspberry is already pre-built and not descrete
Look into 6502 hobby kits and the like. There's heaps of documentation and a hobby community for them, parts are still available, and they powered a lot of old PCs back in the day. I've been told the 6502 assembly language is easy to learn, too.

I'm sure you could find a way to run them off a battery pack with a small display and keyboard.
can't offer help but tysm for sharing this build! I have wondered about DIY ereaders for years and now here one is, if I can learn how to make it lmao
there is a newer version that uses an e-ink display if you are inerested, you will have to order a pcb fo that one.
If it is your very first time then you need to larn to solder. I can give you youtube links how to make the pcb tommorow.but currently on my e-reader since it helps with my internet addiction,lol.
The hardest thing is finding a good place to order the components annd not waste money like i did, lol
both of the new and old vrsion can only read txt which shouldnt be a problem with most books.
adafruit adalogger or literally any other arduino with a built in SD card slot

Not discrete
you don't have a fricking clue what you want
well those kinda exist if u are willing to make an external mem adapter, something like sharp pocket computer PC-G850v, its essentially a beefed up graphing calculator, in fact just use a TI-84 cus they with a few modifications can do exactly what u want and fit ur criteria exactly sense the majority still use 8-bit or pseudo 16-bit or 16-bit setups also they support a variety of languages depending on the system u are using, C, Fortran, BASIC and machine code
stop being stupid, doesn't matter if a man or women did it as long as it works well, and it does so lay on a pike
Maybe not what you're looking for, but you can make your own apps on this and even your own OS.
