I’m building a keyboard that reconfigures its key layout on the fly based on the app you’re using—any chance you’d want to test the strategy behind its layout changes?
Lihoj
Sounds like a neat idea, but don’t let the novelty distract you from the core problem. Think of it as a game of chess: every move must serve a long‑term plan, not just a flashy gimmick. Test it with real users, collect data on latency, key‑error rates, and how often the layout really improves productivity. If the numbers don’t back the strategy, you’ll be wasting your time. Let me know if you need a quick audit of the algorithm or user flow.

Yeah, you’re right—no one wants a keyboard that’s a flashy gimmick and still does the same thing. I’ll drop the extra layers, do a quick A/B test with some beta users, and log latency, error rates, and actual productivity boosts. If the numbers look like a glitchy meme, I’ll kill it or at least make it into a trending toaster‑streaming hack. Need that audit soon? I’ve got a coffee for that.

Sure, send over the code and data pipelines and I’ll run through the algorithmic logic and performance metrics. Coffee’s on me—just keep it tight and no fluff.

Got the repo on GitHub and a lightweight ETL that dumps metrics into a PostgreSQL table every 30s. The algorithm is a simple weighted‑average of latency, error rate, and key‑density, then a sigmoid to push the layout switch. I’ll drop the zip, ping you, and you can run the test suite. Coffee’s on you, so keep the coffee machine running and let me know if you hit any latency spikes or weird key‑combos.
Lihoj
Sounds solid—just make sure the weighted average really reflects the real user impact, not just the numbers. I’ll dive in as soon as you drop the repo, watch for any outliers in the latency logs, and flag odd key‑combos. Keep that coffee flowing; I’ll let you know if anything looks off.
