But why is it not a German keyboard layout?
It is, I’m using it: https://www.neo-layout.org/
It is just not able to break the habit of typewriter compatibility.
They were asking why the heatmaps pictures in OP were not superimposed on a German keyboard layout.
They were not asking why no one has made a keyboard layout out of the heatmaps data :)
Just thought I’d clarify because you’re basically having two different conversations at this point
Ups, I see my confusion. Thanks.
That one is fitting the pictures even less
German layout is QWERTZ while English is QWERTY and your neo layout is neither
I know, but it used the above heatmap to optimize for speed by putting the hottest keys for German on the baseline. It is not the standard keyboard, I learned to use it decades ago when I was a little German high school nerd and had too much time.

Anzahl der Buchstaben in einem Wort
(Number of letters in a word)
For this metric, Wikipedia might not be a representative dataset. Wikipedia uses many technical terms and composite words which tend to be longer than words that are more common in an everyday dialect.

Und Glücksrad.
Great project! I really like your design language! Though it would be nice if there was a dark mode and if it supported
prefers-color-scheme.Thanks. It should read prefers-color-scheme. I have dark mode by default, but it’s also possible to set dark/light mode too.
Oh, somehow I missed the theme setting. I tried both firefox and chromium and got the light theme by default despite having my system/browser settings set to prefer a dark theme.
There were some comments on Reddit suggesting that cutting the dataset at 15 and removing 40% of words was not the best move. I have locally built a version with the limit set to 30.
