External Link X (formerly Twitter) · x.com [1] This is a wild keyboard test. This is exactly what I want to see from ticklemykeys.com. I want to make ergomechanical boards that you can use and abuse. I want you to not be afraid to take them with you or to eat a nutrigrain bar in the same room (cough 2015 mac). And If something does go out, I want users to be able to repair it themsleves, key caps, switches, batteries, and microcontrollers should be replacible parts they can get at a good cost from the shop if they have paid for a board.

all lt keys to hl · WaylonWalker/zmk-config-42block@ce25356 Contribute to WaylonWalker/zmk-config-42block development by creating an account on GitHub. GitHub · github.com [1] Today I swapped out all of my keys that are used dual purpose for letters and layers to homerow layers. This prevents goofy things happening when rolling, and prefers-tap makes it so that keys that are rolled over get hit as letters instead of as layers. This was one of my biggest hurdles jumping into zmk, lt as a homerow key just does not behave the same as the ht/hm behaviors with tap-preferred set.

[1] They had split ergo boards back in 1983??? WTF who the heck keeps these row stagger boards going.

- This keyboard layout looks weird af the mix of column staggar and row stagger is wild. Not sure if its genius or an abomination. That solenoid though is absolutely wild though, I kinda want one TBH. and the clear plate with the diodes laid out on it in a herringbone pattern is a very nice touch.

FastHX - FastHX volfpeter.github.io [1] Very interesting approach to htmx [2] and fast api. It uses separate decorators for returning template partials and json that can be stacked to include both options on a single route. The templates are explicitly set in the decorator. Separate decorators are used for full page and partial pages. I don’t see an example of full and partial pages being combined. I think the demo app must be behaving in a spa like fashion where it does not get all of the data when it calls index and index will ask for user-list.

GitHub - svenstaro/miniserve: 🌟 For when you really just want to serve some files over HTTP right now! 🌟 For when you really just want to serve some files over HTTP right now! - svenstaro/miniserve GitHub · github.com [1] miniserve is a sweet http server, replacement for python -m http.server. It’s fast, runs off a small binary, but why would I want to use it over something that already exists on most machines, because it includes a bunch of features like qr codes, pretty themes, and uploads. I’ve used python -m http.server many times to transfer files from one machine to another in a pinch, like at a family members house. But what if they have an android, windows, or something not easy to get a python repl running on, you can run miniserve and upload from their device rather than hosting from their device.
