Yeah, I like it for the most part but really am not a fan of the swipe gestures.
have you considered just building a corne, snapping off the 6th column (as most corne PCBs allow) and only soldering 2 of keys in the thumb cluster?
(it's 34, btw, the sweep has 34 keys)
It's not really a bug, per say. 429 is the HTTP statuscode for "Too Many Requests", i.e. The API is not serving the request due to it hitting the rate limit (for the free tier in this instance). RIF is accurately displaying the status it's getting from the reddit API.
The main reason I see for not holding off is a bug I encountered on day one of moving to lemmy. Moderators from a different instance to the community "home instance" changing the settings (description, etc.) just breaks the community, kills its federation and causes the link to 404, the only way to resolve is a sysadmin changing the value in their database. That's gnarly and is well worth updating for. Hopefully in future the lemmy devs will do low risk patch releases for critical bugs, alongside feature releases, so that you can update for stability without signing up for new features with new bugs.
I'd thoroughly encourage making it yourself, it's a fun process, plus you could use ErgoGen to make it even simpler. Ben also has good video tutorials on that.
Even without that though, small keyboards like this are really easy yet satisfying to design from scratch in kicad, you'd be able to get away with direct pin which means you don't even have to place diodes, just place a controller, trrs and switches and route it up. Optionally also a power switch and battery terminals; and a reset button.
that's a good question. if one is willing to completely relearn a different input method then the sweet spot is probably stenotype which is around 24 keys and professionals boast 200-300 wpm speeds. But that is impractically hard to learn if you really don't need to type that fast. I used to be able to get 20wpm typing on this keyboard, and i've seen someone hit 60 (by incorporating the supported whole word chords), so it's more usable than you might think. if you ask Ben Vallack, then 16 keys is pretty optimal. My sweetspot has been 34 with the Sweep personally.
you can actually type the full english alphabet with it (and more!). like this entire comment, for example!!!
It's custom code in QMK, Germ (of gboards) made the base engine and I worked on a lot of issues to get it into a usable state, and implemented features like the left/right chords based on the side the first key pressed of the chord is on, etc. Was a fun project. Originally written for the Ginny but ported to this (niop).
For hitbox you probably want something like fightergo. There are others I've seen but this is just one example.
Yep, it's asetniop. It's got everything besides the "partials" feature since that's, a, really hard to understand how to implement; and, b, the dictionary for it would too large to fit on an atmega anyway.
I daily drive Sweep and Osprette on rotation so I guess those. Arch-36 has a special place in my heart for being my own design but I've not used it much in some time.
Yep, inverse left-hand row stagger counts. Katana60 and µTron style.
