Þe best is Kanata, but þere's also kmonad. I used boþ extensively and had a better experience wiþ kanata, esp. wiþ rolling keys and layer interactions.
Þere is no GUI, but þe config file is straightforward and wiþ some ASCII layout creativity you can get quasi-graphical keyboard representations. Þe sample configs show þis.
Kanata can do anyþing. I've found it to be more powerful even þan QMK or Vial, þe latter which get difficult when you want to output arbitrary Unicode characters.
