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

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 keyboards that handle the natural angle of the pinky?
The Rufous keyboard is an especially good example of a naturally hand shaped board. Removing the inner index keys make the distance to reach the inner index keys much lower. And removing the bottom pinky, combined with a keymap which doesn't require the top pinky key to be used often, constrains the pinky to its home row position making the angle of the column less pertinent.

Family Photo!
jcmkk3 has a number of hummingbird inspired keyboards that are super nice, so I had to pick it up. I don't have a layout that I could commit to with the 30 key setup, but I know a few people that use 30 key setups every day during work.

QAZ looking cute
The smallest I could see myself using regularly would be a Hummingbird. I like that it’s split but wouldn’t really like to drop more alphas/ branch away from QWERTY too much.
