Notes

  • I regard the video ChorderCon 2023 as #0 update since it’s the debut of Forge Keyboard.
  • No video on Day 81, 82 and Week 41. (or I can’t find them.)
  • Videos on Day 18, 76, 78, 84 and 85 don’t exist on YouTube, but you can still watch them at these links outside YouTube.
    • Day 18: Day #18 - Raw angel pitch, as promised 🪽
    • Day 76: Day #76 - 776 Fellowship Application
    • Day 78: Day 78 - Live stream reaction to customer testimonies for Kickstarter!
    • Day 84: Day 84 - Sneak peak of some test renderings of the M4G PCB by the amazing
    • Day 85: Day 85 - 3 Questions to tell if CharaChorder is for you
  • Though anything like “This is week xx of CharaChorder / Forge update …” is not mentioned in the following official launch videos, it seems to me that they are important updates about Master Forge and CharaChorder Two. So I include them in the playlist.

  1. If “Day XX” or “Week XX” is mentioned in the title or the content of the video, that serial number would be used. Otherwise, it would be decided from the uploaded time and the serial number of adjacent video, and it would be postfixed with a *. D means day and W means week. ↩︎

  2. North American Central Time Zone (CST/CDT) is used. ↩︎

  3. Same videos from other websites for backup. YT means YouTube, FB means Facebook, IG means Instagram, LI means LinkedIn and TT means TikTok. ↩︎
