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.

I wanted a beautiful computer and couldn't find one, so I made my own.
I've never yet used kakoune itself, but I've just started using the Meow modal editing package for Emacs, which I'm told resembles kakoune to some similar extent as boon resembles vi.
-
Alternative keyboard layouts
Shouldn't make much difference, because most of Emacs's default keybinds are either mnemonic or arbitrary (not relative, like Vi's hjkl). There are some unique control interfaces for Emacs which support (and even recommend) alt layouts out of the box. Specifically Meow, Fingers and Boon.

The extensible vi layer for Emacs
There's also Boon which I like quite a lot but I opted against using mostly because of all the places I would need to type where I wouldn't have access to Boon unless I ported it (a plan I assure you but one lumped behind 1,000 other projects TODO).

Ask HN: Best way to experiment with text text editing?
To build on what others are saying about Emacs, if you start exploring the package ecosystem, you're going to see quite a lot of really interesting packages that are related to improving/experimenting with the UX of editing text. While I'm not endorsing anyone in particular, I think what this list does show is just how easy it is to do pretty much whatever you want in Emacs;

https://github.com/xahlee/xah-fly-keys
https://github.com/Kungsgeten/ryo-modal

Emacs 29 also now has treesitter and LSP mode integration built-in, a compilation mode, a comint mode for REPLs, excellent file browsing packages (I use dired/dirvish), and a few other killer features.
Now, if what you truly dislike are "quirky editors", prepare yourself for a world of hurt because vanilla Emacs departs quite a bit from "modern" text editors. I struggled with this for a while, but eventually by buying into the paradigm, I now feel that when emacs try emulating "modern" IDE features like autocompletion, LSP, and DAP UI, I feel like it's a regression, not a progression. The point here is that you might have an "idea" of what good initial UX and lack of quirks would look like, but Emacs might change the way you think.

Public service announcement: Vim
Vim never, ever appealed to me. The keys are not exactly ergonomic, like the WordStar diamond, or intuitive, like the Emacs keys. But I can understand how modal editing - like in WordStar - can improve the writing experience tremendously. So, for my custom Emacs configuration for creative writing, I am using Boon, which allows me to use the left hand home row to navigate characters/words/sentences/lines, and the right hand home row to delete/insert/etc. Pressing v switches to Insert Mode, and C-; switches back to Command Mode. Highly addictively efficient!

Do you prefer something like evil mode or the default Emacs keybindings?
I've used both vim and evil in the past, but lately I've been playing with boon and I'm quite enjoying it. It plays nicely with emacs and has some good ideas, like pressing the yank key twice in a row will fix spaces:

How to make my pinkie and vanilla keybindings get along?
I am using Boon, and it has transformed my Emacs experience!

I use https://github.com/jyp/boon which has changed my life.

Why not use Evil in 2022?
I am not using Evil in 2022 because I am using Boon :)

I wanted a beautiful computer and couldn't find one, so I made my own.
I will suggest that Baroque ornamentation was attached to things that were part of the function of the object, but you have hidden all the electronics that make your computer function inside its (yes, beautiful) case. Those electronics have an intricacy and a beauty all their own, even if their appearance is mostly dictated by function and cost. Maybe it's not what you're going for, but see for example the DISCIPLINE keyboard for an example of bringing the electronics to the forefront, and positioning them with attention to artistry and not only function.

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
- PCB manufacturer is asking to make changes to my board, will they make it stop working.

Mysterium keyboard, all orange!
All the files and instructions are in the designer's Github repositories, see https://github.com/coseyfannitutti/mysterium and https://github.com/coseyfannitutti/discipline
- Which files do i need to send to a pcb manufacturer?

I made an ortholinear pcb to fit a Protozoa P02 case, with a giant knob.
Thank you! What do you want to know? The case is designed to fit a Discipline PCB, I designed a new PCB (and plate), which uses the same ATMega32a and a very similar circuit but redesigned from scratch to fit an ortholinear layout while still being compatible with the case. The big knob is set up with a smooth (ie no detent) encoder which complements the extra weight nicely (it spins well!). It's set up for scrolling at the moment but I'm going to add some different functions for different layers. The other two knobs control volume and undo/redo, and have a more usual detent decoder. Keycaps are DSA Historic... That's all I can think of!

Discipline with custom acryl plate
Hey there, I have downloaded the file for the acrylic plate from github. https://github.com/coseyfannitutti/discipline Somewhere there is the correct plate. But watch out, there are also top plates for a different acrylic case.
