  • halmak

    The final version of the AI designed keyboard layout

  • Since you asked in the video about ideal keymapping, I thought I'd throw my preferred layout, Halmak, out there: check it out: https://github.com/MadRabbit/halmak. it takes into account key frequency as well as key combination frequency. I don't know if it the best layout theoretically possible but,well, I think it's neat

  • keygen

    An(other) algorithm for generating optimal keyboard layouts. (by xsznix)

  • There are also tools to optimise the layout based on the text & rules you like, for example: https://github.com/xsznix/keygen.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
