Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Alpha with 3d printed circuit board plate
I used 2 different tools to model this. 1. KiCad : converted pcb (https://github.com/PyrooL/Alpha) to step file using this. 2. Fusion360 : Since the available alpha PCB was solder only type, I had to modify the generated step file to support MX the hotswap socket (3d files for which is also available online for kailh type, but I was using Gateron ones so It took some trial and error)
- Which PCB is adaptable ?

Where can I find a small enough keyboard to fit inside of a 8 x 4.75 x 1 inch box? I want an actual keyboard, not those tiny thumb keyboards that I have right now
Here's the smallest mechanical keyboard possible, 24 keys: https://github.com/PyrooL/Alpha

Split Helix not working properly (right side works, left side or combined doesn’t)
I seem to be struggling with putting together a Helix (by MakotoKurauchi).

Comparing Hobby PCB Vendors
There are other benefits: A PCB design can be shared so that others can fabricate it themselves. (Or modify it if they wish). A PCB design will likely have a schematic, too, which can be studied.
I'd also bet that PCB projects are more likely to inspire better PCB projects. -- Or at least, the domain I've tried my hand at has been PCBs for custom mechanical keyboards.
e.g. I've seen boards inspired by https://github.com/hsgw/plaid such as https://github.com/coseyfannitutti/discipline or https://github.com/rtitmuss/torn and I think there are several popular split keyboard designs which basically descend from https://github.com/MakotoKurauchi/helix

I'm so done making keyboards lol. After trying out dactyl manuform I switched to what I wanted from beginning, preonic but split to combat deviation. Also the model is made by me
looks like you’ve circled back to the Helix …
