Hi Jimmy! I'm honored to have Rudefox Burrow mentioned in your newsletter! Though I have been both a developer and a Bitcoiner for quite a while, your recent book is what set me down the path of doing some serious Bitcoin coding. So, in a sense, this is just as much YOUR project!
As for supporting entropy based on a deck of cards, this is a great entropy source in general, but it doesn't work within my "self-audited seed" framework. I go into the details in my blog post, but, in short, in order to be amenable to a noob-friendly lookup-table, an entropy source needs to yield values that are powers of 2. This is why I went with 8-sided dice. I do, however, plan to add a deck-of-cards entropy source to the *non-self-auditing* portion of the tool. Happy to engage further through Twitter DM if you're interested!

P.S. I'm releasing an initial version of the Burrow Pi Image today
