Hey, my Ergodox layout made it into The Ergo 21 as Layout of the month. :-)

You can play my layout tour in Oryx, by following this link:
  https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/ergodox-ez/layouts/BNpaO/latest/play

TIP:
  If you navigate it with a desktop browser, use the Right Arrow to
  navigate the slides, otherwise you miss to Conclusion (last slide)
  due to a bug in Oryx. Though it might be fixed now.

Excerpt from my tour:

    This is my BEAKL 15 layout (Balanced Effortless Advanced Keyboard
    Layout). This layout has outstanding performance for both English
    and non-English prose and code. Instead of a “home row”, it’s
    design is around a 3x3 “home block” using the strongest fingers
    of each hand.

    For more detail about the layout theory and prior revisions,
    visit: https://deskthority.net/wiki/BEAKL

    For convenience, I have also included DVORAK and QWERTY as
    fall-back layouts. Dvorak was my go-to layout for the last 20
    years. Qwerty for other people to type on (think pair programming),
    or occasional gaming. It’s fully PC/Mac enabled too.


Enjoy, and do let me know what you think.

Regards,
  Graeme
