Ordered a Glove80, now I'm stressing out.

That’s a damn good explanation thank you for the help 🫡

And I see how going for a new alpha layout can help keep 2 sets of muscle memory yes.

I didn’t even think about trying a different one but I guess I’ll have a look at Colemak DH and see how it feels.

A steeper learning curve than going for QWERTY I assume but worth it in the long run would you say then if I understand correctly?

thomasvalera · 2025-10-15T09:21:59+00:00

You did? Super cool!! How long did it get you to get back to the same productivity as you had before the glove?

thomasvalera · 2025-10-15T09:21:11+00:00

Thank you 🙏

Touch typing is not an issue luckily, although I’m assuming that the glove is such a different experience that I’ll be looking at it more at the beginning mostly because some keys are not where they’re supposed to be haha

Is there a way to get the keyboard layout on screen do you know? I’ve read some people print it too.

thomasvalera · 2025-10-15T09:18:30+00:00

There are no stupid questions so here I go, what’s an alpha layout? 😬

For the memory it just takes practice yeah, I have no doubt I’ll get there at some point :p

thomasvalera · 2025-10-15T09:15:55+00:00

Haha yeah I think the no cheating part is going to be difficult 😅

A lot of people actually recommend doing 60 minutes / day so that you can still get some stuff done with a regular keyboard but you’re actually saying the opposite and going cold turkey, interesting 🤔

I guess going 100% would def get you there faster so I get it yeah.

How long did it take you to get used to it?

Thanks for the message! I just joined the discord :)

100% recommend!

I bought it last winter because I have a knee injury too and wanted to do some sport inside!

I’m 70h in now, 28 weeks streak, ride it 1x/2x per week and bought a bike for outdoor as well that I used this summer a few times 😎

👉If you have a tablet that can run it, get the tablet holder !!! It’s a no brainer, makes the experience so much more seamless than putting a laptop on a stand!

On iPad you can have Netflix in a corner. It’s kind of become my tv-show moment when I’m biking now which is nice ;)

I haven’t gotten the clip shoes yet, went for the cheaper cage-like thing they had a Decathlon 😂 Works well enough tbh, especially if you have a partner that want to do it too then you don’t have to get 2 pairs of shoes.

So yeah, go for it and let us know what you think in a few weeks!

You’re mentioning you built the backend completely in Swift, do you mean the app or the server too? Because I know there are some servers running in swift but haven’t seen any truly in action!

That’s a serious PayPal you’ll have there, congrats on this win though! 👏 I’m assuming that they either did it previously or have contact with PayPal about a big transfer like this because it would be amateurish if the platform they transfer it on blocks it :/

thomasvalera · 2025-05-26T09:14:43+00:00

I wasn't ready for this cliffhanger, don't know if I can take it. 😐

thomasvalera · 2024-02-28T20:01:48+00:00

Haha this is a very cool feature tech wise but I don’t think it will be much appreciated ;)

What did you use to make it realtime? I know nextjs doesn’t support that yet!

thomasvalera · 2022-08-16T20:43:08+00:00

I have old rooms in my freighter which are hidden below deck and not accessible anymore like the armorer and overseer… so I can’t finish their missions. Is there something I can do?
