I wasn't sure where to post this but I wanted to share it here. I made a script for making QMK RGB profiles. Specifically I have it setup for the DROP ALT. It's currently written for macOS but should be relatively simply to put into other languages and other boards. Once the script is done running you'll need to copy and paste the code into your
rgb_matrix_kb.inc file. It will ask you a series of questions based on how you want your board to be styled; underglow, accent keys, complexity, etc. I'd be really interested in what you guys think
