current state of things (MNT Reform Next)
@mntmn we're you not tempted to go ortholinear? Did people not like it on the Pocket?
@Austin on pocket it makes sense because you have to relearn the layout anyway because of the much smaller-than normal size. on a full size kbd, most people can't deal with a lot of changes from traditional layouts.
@mntmn I understand, but is the MNT Reform Next for "most people"? 😝
@Austin it is for a wider audience than the classic MNT Reform yeah.
@mntmn Oh! Well, the beauty of open hardware means I can remake it as an ortholinear anyway so everyone's a winner.
@Austin @mntmn There were some efforts for the classic Reform in the MNT community, but they all seem to have died off. Maybe with Next the interest in developing more ergonomic options will be reignited?
