I've done some work on the back-end of the ReadLex and I'm hoping it now works a little faster for people. https://readlex.pythonanywhere.com #𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯

I have released a new Shavian keyboard layout, 'Shaw JAFL', for use with the Keyman app.

The layout has been designed with carpalx to minimise typing effort, with common letters in the home row and compound letters built up by typing their parts (e.g. 𐑩 + 𐑮 = 𐑼).

Kingsley Read, the unassuming designer of the Shavian alphabet, was born this day, 19 February, in 1887. And to celebrate, I finally have a decently clear photo of the man (taken 1947). #𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯
