SEO optimization - changing description #11

I don't know if you have ever tried Googling dactyl-manuform, but for some reason this repository is very hard to located via Google. It's nowhere to be found in the 3 first pages of the Google results for "dactyl-manuform". This is very unfortunate, since I think your fork of the Dactyl is an amazing piece of work.

I'm not sure how Github does their SEO, but I think if you change the description to something like "Dactyl-ManuForm, a parameterized ergonomic keyboard", I think it might show up in more searches.

Changing the name of the repository is also a step to consider (perhaps dactyl-manuform, or dactyl-manuform-keyboard), but that is a bit more drastic.

Interesting. I updated the description as you suggested. It may be that forks are pushed down or otherwise hidden. I don't know how long we have to wait to see if updating the description helps. Other sites linking to this might be the biggest effect.

That's a good theory about forks being pushed down in results. Linking to the repository definitely helps. I'll make sure to write a post on /r/mk when I finish building my board, but not sure how much that helps.
