👋 Hey nerds 🤓




This is the **v0.3** dev blog update for my keyboard build site. My friends and I created it because we were tired of digging through Reddit threads for inspiration.

Every build you share grows our community and helps others get inspired.

## Whats new?

It has been really fun developing the following changes after I tackled all the technical debt of the frontend. 

### New domain: Keyb.io is being changed to Keeb.build!

I managed to switch over to the new domain over the summer. The domain describes exactly what the site is about.

### Build part badges 

Quite an easy feature to implement that adds a lot of value. What do you think? It allows for:

- Easy visibility of build parts without entering the builds themselves
- Can be toggled on/off and its state is persisted over reloads.

### Comparison table for boards! (other parts coming in future)

The new data-table packs over 600 pcb-s/handwired layouts. It allows for filtering/sorting based on the following criteria:

- **Shape**: [Split, Monoblock, Keywell, Unibody, Special]
- **Connection**: [Wired, Bluetooth]
- **Stagger**: [Row, Column]
- **Wiring**: [PCB, Handwired, Parametric, Adjustable]
- **Switch** profile: [MX, Choc, Alps, GateronLP, ChocV2, HallEffect, KXSwitch, ChochMini]
- **Rows**: [0-5]
- **Columns**: [0-7]
- **Displays**: [0-2]
- **Encoders**: [0-6] 

On top of these filters I also added the following remotely fetched data:

- Github/GitLab/external link
- Github/GitLab stars, 
- Project license

This should cover most of the features of the boards, if I missed any just ping me on Discord!

Whats next? 
- Some existing parts are still missing the specifications. These will be filled in.
- User editable features. A user should be able to edit all part properties.
- New landing page, describing the sites purpose
- Shareable links to your keyboard collection. Currently you can share your collection using the keeb.build/user/ page, we are planning on making this customisable and mobile friendly, similar to linktr.ee

**Something else? Share your feature ideas in Discord!**
