What is SpaceFN and why you should give it a try
The SpaceFN concept - setting up your space key as a layer switch when held - is probably one of the most useful tweaks in the keyboard hobby. Let me explain how it works. My SpaceFN article on kbd.news made some rounds recently - quite surprisingly given the age of this concept. This piece you're reading is a condensed version of the full post.

On my imaginary top list of the most useful keyboard features, tweaks and hacks, SpaceFN would deserve a podium finish for sure. But what makes it so special?

In any case, the description does include a disclaimer about the ship time being an estimate. Also, HaTaa's early comments in the discussion made it clear that this was still under development. One thing I have learned about MD: ALWAYS read the discussion before committing to a drop.
I really wish Massdrop had an option for some sort of page with additional information or specifications where information like this could be posted and updated. Or even just a summary page of the important discussion posts made by drop leaders. Because the main description page is often more of a sales pitch with the finer details to be found elsewhere.
