Introducing BoardSearch, a single place to find and track keyboards
Earlier this year, I was jumping between a bunch of projects and I finally decided to hunker down and focus on one project. I approached this project for two main reasons, one to scratch my own itch of not being able to find a keyboard with exactly the specs I’m looking for. The second reason […]

For a long time now, a thought in my mind has been simmering about the fact that we should not be inundated with our online social networks. Twitter feels overwhelming to me.

Thoughts on the Keychron Q8 (Alice layout)
The recently released Keychron Q8 was on my radar for awhile. As most mechanical keyboard enthusiasts, I also suffer from never acquiring the endgame.
