Finally! The long awaited 'cast' burr from Option-O will be available from November 2022 onwards for Lagom P64 owners and December 2022/January 2023 for non Lagom P64 owners.

With a lot of inspiration from the IKAWA Home - profiles thread I am releasing a beta version of an online tool to create and edit IKAWA profiles. It is mostly what I would have loved from the standard app to have. Open to feedback to add features to make it more useful.
