I just came across the video showcasing pog and it seems amazing, but I didn't see anything regarding importing layout from this website.

Because you can create the layout and then export it to JSON.

Then this JSON can be imported in kb.xyz.is to generate a premade KiCAD project.

So being able to link everything from start to finish with the same json layout could be amazing and make the creation of custom keyboard pretty seamless with multiple tooling automating lots of things along the way

The keyboard layout editor has an import feature from then qmk json and the kle json. What you mean is to import the pins as well right? Some parts eg the col and row definitions of rhe pins in qmk cant be easily converted to the kmk syntax. But I like the idea

Well the KiCAD project isn't perfect and still needs work, you have to do the traces manually, but yeah since the other website after kle makes the circuit you could parse/detect rows and columns to some extent automatically.

But if you know there are X columns and Y rows you could pre-fill that and just have to associate them in UI to your µconstroller pins.
(maybe have some local DB of popular boards ?)

Not 100% seamless and perfect but still adding accessiblity/automation to the process of making custom keyboards
