Considering this is clearly a derivative of the Amano open source project files (https://github.com/h40io/Amano) have you contemplated giving credit to this project or informing community members and potential customers as to whether or not plate files, carrying case, wrist rest, or other components will be directly compatible?
If so, why not? I see this as a clear benefit to the community and a primary motivation of the project.
I'll address your points in order.
1. Considering this is clearly a derivative of the Amano open source project files (https://github.com/h40io/Amano) have you contemplated giving credit to this project
Looking past the hilarious irony here - my answer is no - given that it is not a derivative of your project (
which is in itself a derivative of the Alice. am I in the Twilight Zone?!)
2. informing community members and potential customers as to whether or not plate files, carrying case, wrist rest, or other components will be directly compatible
Again - no. None of your accessories (save for the publicly available Mechlovin PCB) will fit the Rikia. Again - they. are. not. the. same. The boards share two similarities - the Alice plate and the Mechlovin PCB. Neither of which are yours? I will say it for a third time - aside from the PCB and plate there is no similarity between our boards.
I really am sorry this had to happen. In fact - I was excited to mention your project in my IC when you requested it. I'm all for supporting fellow designers and I see absolutely no crossover in market between Amano and Rikia.
Then I was given screenshots from friends where you slandered me on Discord.After that I chose to not engage with you further, but it appears your obsessive need to stir drama and air dirty laundry has followed us to yet another platform. I wish you the best with your future projects.
