As I was thinking of suggesting about covering other Apple products, I have something that might be a challenge to someone who can't find anything interesting after finishing up adding support for NeXT emulation.

Newton OS was a PDA operating system by Apple for their Newton devices from 1993 to 1997. While it flopped hard, it has been looked into by tech people in retrospect as Apple's first handheld foray.
³
The Newton had two emulators, Einstein, and Leibniz.

Einstein is much more well supported and by far, more accurate of the two, as it also supports emulation for numerous accessories and networking, and still in active development. But in my knowledge, it could only run Newton OS 2.0+ only.

Leibniz on the other hand is a work-in-progress emulator for various Newton models, could also run Newton OS 1.0+ and has a web port but it relies on SDL and doesn't have any support for networking or floating-point as running the calculator crashes some models or errors out.

I hope that this finds you well.
