Support for Alternative Layouts
This is a summary of how alternative layouts have been supported by kits such as Colevrak and Homing. It is not a discussion of alt layout performance and development, but if that interests you I highly recommend starting with Pascal Getreuer’s A guide to alt keyboard layouts (why, how, which one?). It’s a concise and comprehensive overview with links to some great sites that go deeper. He also has a separate Links about keyboards page.

Keyboard based comedy. You wouldn’t know that’s a thing until you see what Glarses is producing. Deviating from the standard tech reviews or ASMR demos, Glarses adds funny comedy skits and memes around keyboard products.

I expect this channel to get super big quickly so you can pride yourself on “watching him before he went mainstream.” As this is a new series feel free to give your feedback here. What did you like? What did you not like? What do you want to see more of? Have a creator you want to share? Are you a creator or know one? Post them here and we'll take a look.
