New to ergo keebs; could use some suggestions about the idea that I have in mind
if you are looking for a sculpted/keywell design I would start with something like the https://github.com/sanderboer/chonkybois or https://github.com/Bastardkb/Skeletyl then work on refining your needs from those ideas.

My second custom build: split ergo 5x3 with encoders and aviator connectors!
The only thing I would change is to make it hotswappable, either by having a system like the chonkybois or, more simply, by using socket holders like this :)

Built my first Dactyl Manuform (Velvet)
I was planning to make the Lil Chonky Bois as my second keyboard/first handwired build. The design is pretty similar, but looks like Velvet uses less filament but gives you two more keys.

"lil chonky bois" build
I would really recommend making them, it's a really fun project. The hot swap sockets are inserted in the fitting holes and glued in place. I did not have any problems with the plastic melting, as long as you're careful with the iron you should be fine. Heres the github page were you can find the BOM and information. https://github.com/sanderboer/chonkybois

Design request, manuform-esque corne
Highly recommend checking out chonkyboiswhich has a very gentle sweep.

Anyone know when Kenesis 360 might arrive?
DIY has a lot more options, check out r/ergomechkeyboards and/or kbd.news for inspiration/options. My personal favourites at the moment are chonky bois and dactyl-cc . Word of caution, this is quite a rabbit hole you are standing on an edge off.

Are there any fully optimized layouts for 30 key layouts like the Hummingbird?
The Hummingbird page has a layout https://github.com/PJE66/hummingbird but I'm not a fan of combos - even if it's just for the lesser used keys.

My Bean KB
My still WIP splitkb. Reversible pcb, based on rp2040, hot swap and hidden diodes inside led switch space. Heavily inspired by the Humming Bird kb (https://github.com/PJE66/hummingbird) but I think that it has "too many" keys ;) so I just didn't use the two extra thumb keys.

Extra GPIO on Seeed Xiao Controllers via ZMK
No way! I was so convinced it was limited because of boards like the humminbird!

I prefer a more aggressive pinky stagger but the NASA Roman is not bad
there’s always the Hummingbird …

How far does the rabbit hole still go?
I mean the Hummingbird is only one board for two hands …

What does your perfect wireless OLKB look like?
powerful CPU in a tiny footprint – people seem to have fun trying to make them work (Hummingbird is probably the poster child)

What the advantage of single pcb boards?
Hummingbird is so cool, if you can do small.

Fit Colemak-DH on a 26+4 key hummingbird-like layout
Recently I am thinking about getting one of Hummingbird-like ultra-minimal 30-key keyboards, for example, there is also Midge which uses a very similar design.
