You can find firmware, PCB design and gerber files for past versions if you want to build your own (I'm not used to version controlling PCB files, so if you have problems with them, please let me know). The firmware of this keyboard is based on QMK firmware. The PCB files are in pcb/, and firmwares in qmk/.
For a list of all of the past versions, see here. Fun fact: only the first version has 46 keys, which came down to 36 after two weeks of using when I desoldered the top number row.
For a list of past keymaps, you'll have to do it manually as Keyboard Layout Editor doesn't support viewing versions of a keymap. Since the saved keymap is hosted on gist, you can check out all the past versions of the gist, copy the contents of each file back into KLE to view the past keymaps.

Questions
How big is the Fissure PCB?
It measures 131.5 × 184.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Fissure use?
239 parts, built around the W25Q128JVSIQ, TLV62568DBV, BQ24075RGT and DW01A. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Fissure KiCad files?
From the crides/fissure repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/fissure/fissure.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/fissure/fissure.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Fissure design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
