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.

(WIP) Designing a QAZ-inpsired 35% keyboard for 3D-printing and hand-wiring.
As for switch hole sizes, I haven't designed anything myself but heard ppl use http://builder.swillkb.com/ to design their plates - it's some generator with size standards for switches and stabs.

3d printed keyboard from scratch
Not 3d printing, but found this site which can generate files for laser cutting http://builder.swillkb.com/

[Troubleshooting] plate mount stabilizers not actuating on printed build plate
In terms of workflow: I'm using a generated layout from Plate & Case Builder - swillkb after pasting in the raw data from http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/ : if there's a better workflow out there im all ears and open to trying anything new.

[Handwired] POV: You want a Planck, but don't want to buy the 40% kit
Use SwillKB to create layer design files

The Daxter. My 2nd handwire.
I design my own key layout and copy paste the raw json file to this site to generate the case and the plates. http://builder.swillkb.com

Keyboard and PCB from scratch ?
The only thing is, it's hard to do a plateless design with handwiring - but not many customs are plateless, anyway. You'll need to get a plate cut, but that workflow can be quite streamlined using a tool like Swillkb's builder.
- I have this idea to make a acrylic case for my handwired macro, the problrm is I dont have knowledge to make an acrylic cut file :( can someone help me make acrylic cut file?

I call it Dreadnoughtus. Info in comments!
I used this incredible tool to generate the top and bottom .svg files for the switch portion of the plate and a vector graphics editor to make the silly screen bump on the top right. The cost for the plates on this one was around 180USD after shipping but they charge by area so I was at a distinct disadvantage. I wish you luck on your keeb! This project was very fulfilling once all the bugs got hammered out, I hope yours is as well.

Lights Out!
If you can't find a plate file, make a QAZ layout with KLE, import it to this plate generator to make a plate file. The thing is, the generated plate file will be without mounting point or holes. If you want more control, use this one, it's more complicated but with more options.

My first non-off the shelf keyboard, and I designed it all*.
I just swiped it off of here. seeing as it's a custom board and all hahaha.

Nyan Keys - An FPGA Based Mechanical Keyboard I Engineered for Low Latency - Open Source
Nice - a friend and I worked on my keyboard's debouncer and call it "eager debouncing", not sure if there's an official term for it. I agree that it's much better for latency.

Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
Awhile ago I made an remote infrared sending tool so a raspberry pi can control my A/C unit
https://blog.bschwind.com/2016/05/29/sending-infrared-comman...
Since then I made a much slimmer, cheaper, more efficient version based on the ESP32 but I haven't written up much about that.
I also created my own keyboard with firmware in Rust
https://github.com/bschwind/key-ripper
I've done a bunch of other small one-off projects too.

2nd post about my first pcb(added pictures)
Good luck! I have an open source keyboard project in KiCad as well, feel free to reference or use anything from it.

Yet another keyboard post, or, introducing ErgoNICE
Not sure if the author of the post is around, but I guess this is a question for anyone who has designed keyboards: have you ever tried using shift registers for reading all the keyswitch inputs, and is it worth it? Does it mean you don't have to use a diode per switch?
I've designed my own as well but just went with the traditional key matrix with a diode per switch. Works well enough for the current size.

[Review Request] RP2040-based keyboard
All the source files can be found here
- Point keycaps? Yes.

Drop Giveaway Day 2 - 5x DCX Dolch Keycap Sets
I made my own keyboard layout just the way I want so I would put these caps on that, or replace the stock caps that came with my Filco board.

Twist looks awesome, I'd put it on my key-ripper

Can you run rust on the new raspberry pi pico w?
You can absolutely run Rust on the pico - I designed a keyboard with Rust firmware which runs on an RP2040. That being said, wireless functionality might not be existent yet in the Rust world for the Pico W, but I'm sure it won't take long to get added.
