Giveaway

KBD.news will turn one on 20th November so I started to organize a little giveaway.

3DKeebs, Mechbox, pkkeyboards and Rectangles.store already offered prizes and I'm in a talk with Coffeekeys and Khor.

The giveaway page is WIP, [for BMC members only]

Stay tuned!

At least in the quite elaborated form I've presented them for the past year. Sorry folks, but bots and even mods kept deleting my posts without any notice so I had enough. The time I spent with creating and posting these weekly summaries will come in handy for picking up other forgotten side-projects like the split database and the logical layout design series.

This is exclusive or early-access content for my regular supporters (members) on BMC.

If you can't afford supporting this project, don't worry, I might publish parts of these write-ups later.

Btw, the full story is 7,700+ characters long and you can read it at: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dovenyi/behind-scenes-issue-50
