 A 5x3 split keyboard with 3 thumbs. There is nothing interesting about the layout. It's inspired by Corne and Kyria, and
 has the exact number of keys needed to run the [Miryoku](https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku) layout.
 
-The interesting thing about this keyboard is that it's a declarative design made using [Ergogen](https://github.com/mrzealot/ergogen/). The build system:
-* uses Ergogen to translate YAML to a KiCad PCB and plate files for FR2 fab or laser cutting
