#3That's quite interesting. But if I were to learn chording, I'd rather invest on a stenograph keyboard and learn plover. There's a bigger community and more resources to rely on.

#7I love how honest this is about the limitations and the whole design process. Truly a great example of a real hacker project
I have a Georgi keyboard (mentioned in the article) which I started getting to grips with then put aside during a way too busy period at work. This has made me want to dig it out and try again.
I’m also thinking that two of those faunchpads put together on the long edges could make an even better ‘back of phone’ keyboard (or back of mini tablet) for a handy portable note taking device

G Heavy Industries - the maker of the keyboard used in the article - also makes a keyboard specifically for plover if you are interested. (not involved in the company, just a happy customer)

#10I swear FaunchPad has seen 3
Or 4 different input methods like this be developed, I'm not sure what it is about the hardware but I'm absolutely in love with what you all do with it.
Nice write-up OP! Excited to see where you go with Peggi :)
