Hi SignWriting List,<br>
<br>
Looking to the future, I have been modernizing the available tools
for SignWriting developers using JavaScript.<br>
<br>
<img src="cid:part1.3689B78F.1389AEE1@signpuddle.net" alt=""><br>
<br>
I have published the first two packages. The source code is
available on GitHub and the packages can be installed with the Node
Package Manager.<br>
<br>
The first package is the Sutton SignWriting Core: a javascript
package for node and browsers that supports general processing of
SignWriting text. This package supports both Formal SignWriting in
ASCII (FSW) and SignWriting in Unicode (SWU) character sets, along
with the associated query languages and style string.<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sutton-signwriting/core">https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sutton-signwriting/core</a><br>
<br>
The package is thoroughly documented.<br>

<br>
<br>
The second package is the Sutton SignWriting Font-DB: a javascript
package for node that generates SVG and PNG images for individual
symbols and complete signs. The package covers the entire set of the
International SignWritnig Alphabet 2010 (ISWA 2010). This package
supports both Formal SignWriting in ASCII (FSW) and SignWriting in
Unicode (SWU) character sets, along with the style string and
normalization.<br>

<br>
The package is thoroughly documented.<br>

<br>
<br>
I am currently working on the next two packages: the first for
TrueType fonts and the second for React components.<br>
<br>
I will be using these packages to build the new SignText. By
creating these packages in a modular fashion, I am able to provide
other developers with easy access to the same tools I am using.
Other developers will be able to pick and choose what tools they
need for developing SignWriting websites, desktop applications, or
mobile apps.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
