# notaroomba/keybytes

> A modular keyboard where each key is its own 1u PCB with a CH32V003, pogo pins and magnetic cases, while an STM32WB55 main board provides Bluetooth and USB.

- Magnitude: 5.6 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 94 total · +33 stars measured 2026-10-26, 04:19–06:23 UTC, ≈ 97 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Build a custom keyboard from individual 1u modules with rearrangeable keys
- Flash each key's firmware from the main board over pogo pins
- Study the modular keyboard design with CH32V003 and STM32WB55 for your own project

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-26 (UTC), 04:19–06:23: 61 → 94 stars (+33). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +97 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 0 per day.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 2 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.

## 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: 2
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 27 per day
- Usual pace: 0 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 14

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.
