julesnew··on Show HN: Ryeboard 0.95 – A Personal Workplace for Your Ideas
If this could integrate with Asana (not an ideal platform in many ways, but what my workplace uses to track projects) I'd be sold. I want integration!!!! Great idea, though.

Proportionately they are -- my wingspan is a little longer than my height (my physical therpapist calls this my "ape index", ha!). If you look at the typical ergnomic desk setup (like this one: https://airawear.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/1-desk-heigh...) my desk would basically have to be in my lap to be elbow height, which is why I need the hanging keyboard tray. I would love a lower desk, or one that lowers! But not possible right now...

I envy that you have a desk that can go lower!

I don't have particularly long legs. I usually need a higher chair to have the correct desk height, and then also need a foot rest, lol.

Interesting...! I have some "hints" of some of these symptoms (including fatigue), but believe I still fall within the normal range. I'm 5'5", and I think my wingspan is slightly over 5'6". Thanks for the awareness.

That's actually a good call! I just inherited something that's not quite a split keyboard -- it's one of those "ergonomic" keyboards from a colleague who left, and it basically forces my elbows out so that I can still keep my traps relaxed & wrists straight, even when my keyboard is higher than I would typically have it.
