Because then things like holding shift on one half and a letter on the other wouldn’t work.
Because this allows you to keep the halves further apart, which is considered more ergonomical.
Typically, each half can, in fact, be used independently (they each have their own microcontroller).
That looks absolutely stunning, great job! Really futuristic and clean!
…this truly is the weirdest timeline.
Define “curate” and “exciting”? How would you want them sorted?
I mean, there’s sorting by “hot” which takes comments and votes into account, but beyond that I’d very much prefer all the algorithm fuckery to stay well clear of the fediverse, because it inevitably leads to everything going to shit. It invites “gaming the system”, and before you know it your entire feed is full of ads, bots and iNfLuEnCeRs.
So, anyway, Hot might be exciting. ;)
