hello friends i spent the last two months building this! it’s a complete rewrite of my old python foxglove app into an nvim plugin in like an eighth of the lines of code.

🦊 It’s here!!!
My years-long project of implementing #ASETNIOP as a #playwright is up on Codeberg!
still building this beautiful #python #asetniop #curses editor with special focus for me as a #playwright.
unlike the screenwriter-focused #fountain, it is truly and fully #markdown based, with some additional styling added.
also it’s fully customizable; you just have to modify a very readable style.py to your liking! no .css vomit or wysiwyg menu hell

did you know i can do this
average human typing is like 52 wpm and technically this is at 100% accuracy cuz my #asetniop implementation just does a lot of autocompleting while i write
a fun fact about me is i have spent the last two years implementing a custom version of #asetniop in #autohotkey
it’s incredibly broken and does not work but am i learning a lot? not really. am i at least having fun with it? also no
Chordie Chording Keyboard Speaks No Qwerty
What is the fastest way to get thoughts out of your brain and into relative permanence? Well, yeah, probably a voice recorder. But after voice recorders comes typing in a distant second. Typing, especially QWERTY-style, has its limitations. The holy grail method it comes to typing quickly has got to be a chording keyboard, hands down. How can court reporters possibly keep up with everything that's uttered during a trial? When you can press a few keys at the same time and type entire words, it's not that difficult. It just takes a whole lot of memorization and muscle memory to get to that point.
So if you're going to go for the glory, check out Chordie, a snazzy little chording keyboard that does it all with just 14 keys. [kbjunky] based Chordie on the Ginny, a cute little bare-bones bat-wing chording keyboard that uses the ASETNIOP chording engine originally built for soft keyboards.[kbjunky] added open-face trackball support via printed cradle, but it's not necessary to use a trackball since there's a pair of rotary encoders and a mouse layer.
This keyboard looks fantastic with its rocket ship MCU holder and its flush-mounted I/O expander breakout boards. Apparently [kbjunky] used polyimide tape to keep the solder from making blobs. It's all there in the nice build guide.
We would probably argue that chording is not totally ergonomic. Sure, you barely move your hands or wrists, but chording itself can be hard on the digits, especially the pinkies. To that end, [kbjunky] used low-profile switches with light springs. Totally ergonomic or not, we have to admit that we love the idea of clacking along at 300 WPM someday far, far down the learning curve of ASETNIOP. Take a look at the key map, and check out [kbjunky]'s follow-up post if you want to see a demo.
Maybe you prefer a completely different typing experience. Well, ASETNIOP works with digital pianos, too.

I must be a natural with this thing, as I have already gotten to typing well enough to spot a potential bug in the firmware.
