Click, click, click: Swap keys!

SEPTEMBER 2020

View/share online →

Hi *|FNAME|*,

This month's big announcement is the ability to swap the positions of any two keys in your layout, even across different layers. Very handy for macros and other complex keys.

Other than that, we've been focusing heads down on building and shipping Moonlanders. I've been updating the FAQ every week with our progress. We're up to batch 4 now, whew! Orders made today will ship out around Nov/Dec, but we're getting faster and better all the time.

As always, thank you for reading, and feel free to write me anytime at ez@zsa.io.

All the best,
Erez

Swap keys

From here, to there

Click a source key, then a destination key, and the two will switch places. It's that simple.

Layout of the month: piepageddon

I'm fascinated by tools, especially ones you can modify to your liking. There's something deeply satisfying about refining something until you forget it's there.

Compare physical quantities, intuitively

How fast is 15 kilometers per hour? About 1.5 times as fast as a crocodile, or about two times as fast as Michael Phelps.

All the skins

Relive the heady days of the late 90's MP3 Napster craze with this positively massive collection of skins. Webamp.org itself is worth a visit, too.

72 Years of Ikea Catalogs →

See how it changed

Complete copies of Ikea catalogs from the past, beautifully scanned and preserved. Amazing.

A second brain, for you, forever

A visual wiki that runs locally, on top of Markdown files. An interesting alternative to Notion for managing personal knowledge.

Tools for better thinking

I love mental models. This is a handful of handy ways to think about problems and systems, visually explained and clearly written up. Free and clean. Don't read them all at once - these require practice and thinking.

Wallpaper of the month

For months, Mario's been dropping the Moonlander logo into every wallpaper, tucked away somewhere. Then we launched – and today, we get to close out this series of wallpapers with a grand finale.
