It's always fun for me to see people experience our beloved keyboard and realize how it is familiar and yet different in a cool way. Lately, I've been to a Toptal meeting, followed by JSConf 2015 Budapest. In my true style, a prototype was in my backpack waiting to be seen by people. Naturally, some pictures were shot.

Even more recently, András and I were attending to a meetup at Ustream Hungary and the organizers have asked me to give a talk about the UHK in quite an unexpected fashion. I used our website as a presentation medium and got 5 minutes but the attendees asked so many questions that it ended up being about 20 minutes and people still couldn't get enough after the talk! It was a great experience for everyone involved.

Some of the things I learned along the way:

  • Wherever you present always make sure people take some pictures. A lot more pictures could have been shot than the above.
  • Demoing the UHK on mobile is a novel experience for most, but a programmer's editor is very much needed. Just purchased DroidEdit Pro.
  • I've really gotta get some name cards made.
  • After conference parties are fun but be sure not to stay there too late or else the next day you'll look like crap due to the lack of sleep.
  • I've gotta get some tan because I look hopelessly pale next to Pablo. I don't wanna look white and nerdy.
