Founders

motion is lotion.

i often just build small games or apps that i don’t see much potential in. 

some stop at ideas, 
some stretch to mockups,
some to interactivr prototype,
some to mvp

why waste time? i’m just trying to keep my maker spirit alive. unless i’m moving, i feel stagnant and irrelevant.

I do this too

Inertia is real, and cuts both ways

MechaniKeebs

the thing I forgot when I started this project is that soldering keyboards is a huge pain in the ass and I hate it

some of the electronics are roughly the size of a grain of rice and I am not precise enough for this to be quick or enjoyable

the case fits, really stoked with how it’s turning out so far

waiting for batteries to arrive and then we start the build

nice trick with css :has - you can set css variables based on child content, which enables you to do some cool things like these no-js animated tabs

learned this one from jhey.dev

HIGHER

ngl I though everyone was just saying happy birthday for the longest time

prints (and switches!) just arrived today

they look solid but no idea if they’ll fit until the PCBs arrive

Powerlifting

175kg/385lbs for my top squat this week, same as last week, but moved a little better.

2 weeks left in this block and estimated maxes are around 405/285/500 SBD, which I’d be really happy with

okay spent a couple hours today learning how to 3d model this basic keyboard case, following this guide: https://kbd.news/Keyboard-Case-Design-1764.html

cost to print: $7.82 from JLCPCB

could definitely see myself getting addicted to this

learned about this useful git feature today - if you want to amend a commit that's not the latest one:

git commit --fixup head^ # or another ref
git rebase --autosquash head^^

and git will automatically reorder and squash the commits for you

placed an order for parts! not for the quoted board, but for this one, the Swoop:

- 36 keys
- MX
- wireless
- fr4 sandwich case
- got some keycaps (KLP Lamé) resin printed at the same time, excited to see how they turn out

may try my hand at designing a case to 3d print as well

aliexpress parts came in, probably will be ready to build this next weekend

no-js dark mode selector

css :has selector finally mature enough to use this!

gotta use js to persist between page loads still though unfortunately
