Typing speed still not as good traditional keyboard?
That's certainly interesting! I haven't had any issues on Firefox with adblockers. Here's the GitHub: https://github.com/ranelpadon/ngram-type/tree/master/ngrams. Not sure if there are any known incompatibilities or issues.

Semicolon to underscore trick
For minimizing awkward finger movements, I feel like a decent approach would be to borrow techniques from the tiny keyboard crowd make a multi-layered keyboard layout to minimize movement. e.g. some people have 34 key keyboards with multiple layers triggered in various ways to get the full range of input. (Some people go even further, e.g. to 16 keys).

Have there been splits with an IC?
The ferris (not sweep) is a great example of a board with an integrated mcu. The big disadvantage is that the design is tied to a specific part and also will be less accessible for DIYers. In the case of the ferris, the chip that it uses has been almost impossible to find for the last year, which is one of the factors of the sweep's popularity over the ferris. https://github.com/pierrechevalier83/ferris
What are some alternatives?
