i am enamored by your continuation of this series–thank you so much for keeping this sort of project on-going

PSA: kbd.news has been under constant attack by botnets since more than a week. The situation is much better now, but if you experience server errors or strange behavior, that’s probably part of the game, either direct or collateral damage. I had to ban huge IP ranges, so if the site seems to be unreachable, that’s because you may fall into that range.
That said, here is my next compilation of cool DIY keyboard projects - with the KiiBOOM Phanom81 keyboard review, open-source projects, quick news, keyboard art, goodies, etc. KBD#197.
Hey thanks for putting this out on the regular. Sorry people are jerks.
Ah, thanks for reminding me that there was a new issue published recently.

Yeah, the attacks continue even though they don’t make much sense. I don’t store any user or sensitive data, can ban millions of IPs without hesitation because I don’t care about visitor stats and kbd.news isn’t something essential or critical, etc.
These are automated attacks, I just made it to a list of targets I guess. Unfortunately, cloud services don’t seem to care about their malicious or infected users, so I have to live with this from now on. Like with spam.
I’m today years old that I learned you have an RSS feed so now I won’t miss an edition.
I have to confess that I’ve never used an rss feed and have no idea how and why people use them. 
But this was a reader request so I made two versions in the very early days: all posts and the “weekly” issues that is rather a fortnightly edition these days.
They’re a really easy way to consume regular content. I use an app called Feedly to aggregate all the RSS feeds I follow and I can read them all from there. Every time an article is published, I find it in the app and read. I honestly don’t know why more people don’t use them as they’re a great way to get content in one place.
I love Feedly! Didn’t know there was an RSS feed for this either, so I’ll be adding too! Good callout
So after about 5 years I finally checked out how these feeds look in a dedicated client from a real user’s perspective (thanks for the Feedly keyword), and I realized that there’s definitely some room for improvement. E.g. only the weekly rss is offered by the Discovery page, some recent images are missing, the single-word titles may read a bit odd outside of kbd.news, the feed thumbnail is not displayed in Discovery, etc.
Images not displaying is probably because I managed to ban the feedly bot along other attacker networks.
Anyway, I’m going to overhaul the whole thing.
Well, for what it’s worth, I get to see a new edition has been published and I can follow and read via the link. So it’s not bad. I do prefer reading in the Feedly app, but that’s not a requirement.
Here is KBD#199 - with the Evoworks Evo75 review, cool DIY and commercial keyboard projects, quick news, keyboard art, goodies, meetups, new vendors and discount codes, etc.
