Mobile keyboards today are almost entirely based on the 26-key, 3-row QWERTY layout. Here’s a new 2-row, 16-key alternative designed specifically for smartphones.

Nice idea, I might try it!

I noticed "copyright info goes here (c) 2025" - which you might want to update!

It's still 2025, so that's fine :P post-Berne Convention, there are no forms required for copyright protection to vest, merely fixing the work upon a medium is sufficient.

So vibe coded slop that clearly hasn't been reviewed is going to have access to all my input.

Interesting idea, but that's a pass from me.
