Handheld external keyboard options for iPhone
What I've experimented in the past (none of these lasted very long for me, but hopefully inspirations for you): - stenophone: back front - fistion: back front - clawor - musk (it feels okay pseudo typing on it in a jacket's pocket)

BB Steno
The one feature I’m looking forward to is having the dictionary built in. The Black Pill used here supports adding memory chip; I just need to buy one and figure out how to flash crides/steno firmware on it.

Long time no post to reddit: Daily driven boards
I haven't actually posted to Reddit for a while (other than comments that is), and I thought I should. I've been daily driving these 2 boards for a bit, the Fissure v3.2 and the Fusion. Both boards are fully BLE, and of course following my tradition on using the embedded steno engine.

Are there any Stenographers here? Should I switch to Stenography?
Simple (and buggy) steno engine on my keyboard

Can you add Steno as a layer?
You can actually run the code needed for steno completely in firmware. Check out https://github.com/crides/steno.

Introducing the Uncokeeb: a new per-finger chorded keyboard concept prototype for fast typing
Fwiw, that’s a thing, though it’s still in progress. (This says QMK, but there’s def also ZMK work somewhere in there as well.)

Home-row mods - will I get used to it?
I had trouble with HMR as well at the beginning, but since switching to sunaku's fork/PR I've almost eliminated all the issues I had with it. And worth mentioning is urob's timeless HMR config from which I think the fork/PR takes some of its inspiration.

Spring Cleaning/Codeing
Affirmative. I updated my fork and my clone last week. I also did a second, fresh clone and merged this PR: https://github.com/manna-harbour/qmk_firmware/pull/56

Help with getting homerow modifiers up and running
Im guessing installing something like this is what i need to do? https://github.com/manna-harbour/qmk_firmware/pull/56

LPT: Try urob's ZMK timeless homerow mods, combos and other features
See my Miryoki PR for details: https://github.com/manna-harbour/qmk_firmware/pull/56

𝑥MK: Use programmable keyboard firmware with any keyboard.
I have a separate system for that as part of this old unreleased project. They're orthogonal so could be used together, but it'd be nicer if they were integrated. If you just want to remap buttons or map buttons to keys you can do that in the OS.

BATTLESHIP ERGO(but dumb?)
Well, things like Bilateral Combinations are aware of which hand is using the modifier to only apply it to the other side's presses & minimise accidental triggering on same-hand rolls.
