## Useful for

- Build a DIY hardware keyboard from the provided schematics and firmware
- Study C++ firmware examples for custom input devices
- Recreate an April Fools' Gboard prototype as a hobby project

## Why it’s here

- 0 stars so far today, about 37 expected by the end of the day. The usual pace is 0 per day, so that's 37× as much.
- Over the last two days the pace is 6.8× that of the previous week and a half.
- The spike has held for 3 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
- Hacker News: “Gboard Conveyor Belt Version” — 24 points, 2 days ago.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 179
- Issues and pull requests: 60
- Watchers: 68
- Average over the last week: 28 per day
- Usual pace: 0 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 2

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
Data as of 2026-10-04 03:53 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
