== Why did you build this?
I know the pain of typing with big thumbs on the phone. Also, I often type with one hand while holding the phone with the same hand. Also, iPad keyboards are so big that my fingers cannot reach the middle keys. There had to be a better way to type for people like me.
== What's new and unique about your launch compared to alternatives?
First of all, it has big buttons. Then, to express all the characters in a full-size keyboard without switching layouts, each button can type 9 characters by swiping. Sound and haptic feedback help you knowing how you are typing. Also, super important fact - your fingers don't grow bigger just because you use iPad instead of iPhone. Then why, iPad gives you a much bigger keyboard than iPhone? Big Thumb Keyboard gives you the same size keyboard across devices. Same size in mm and inches, not pixels.
Also, grouping of letters actually follows some scientific principles. Lip-sounds, tongue-sounds, throat-sounds, etc. What goes to the left and what goes to the right, etc. There are a few exceptions, but you can get the hang of it quickly and knowing what letters are where will become easy.
== What are you most proud of in this launch?
Actually, I have my own desktop keyboard layout. Big Thumb Keyboard is an extension of that line of effort. I now have a keyboard I enjoy using on the phone and the tablet. Because of swiping, it feels like writing with thumbs. Pushing the boundary of human-computer interface is a big thing! At least I think so.
