Hi SignWriting list,<br>
<br>
The SignWriting organization gets many questions privately.<br>
Our answers are usually informative and helpful.<br>
Here is a recent anonymized question and my response.<br>
<br>
<div>
<blockquote type="cite" class="">
<div class="">Have you considered Signwriting dictionaries, New
Testament in app form for Google Play, Apple (iPad, iPhone,
MAC) for free? I have Google Play on my phone & I have a
MAC laptop computer.</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
SignWriting apps are still in infancy.<br>
<br>
I am currently working on freely available SignWriting Web
Components.<br>
These components will make it easier for other developers to
create<br>
mobile apps, desktop applications, and interactive websites.<br>
<br>
I'll be posting version 0.6.0 of the sgnw-components later today.<br>
Here's a preview of the technology on the SignWriting Stream.<br>

<br>
The SignWriting organization itself will probably not be
publishing apps.<br>
We lack the funds and the developer time.<br>
<br>
I plan to stay focused on developing the SignWriting Web
Components.<br>
As the components fill out and mature, I believe new apps will
start to appear.<br>
Will someone create a free ASL Bible dictionary app? I hope so.<br>
<br>
When I have a stable version 1.0 available for the SignWriting Web
Components,<br>
I will create a prototype app as a proof of concept.<br>
I will teach this development stack on the SignWriting Stream.<br>
<br>
My previous attempt at creating an app is usable on the ipad and
almost usable on mobile.<br>
You can view the ASL Bible dictionary with SignMaker 2017.<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.signbank.org/signmaker/#?ui=en&dictionary=ase2">https://www.signbank.org/signmaker/#?ui=en&dictionary=ase2</a><br>
<br>
It is possible to install this on your Mac.<br>
The source is available on GitHub.<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/Slevinski/signmaker">https://github.com/Slevinski/signmaker</a><br>
<br>
The dictionary can be downloaded and installed to your local copy
of SignMaker.<br>
Unfortunately, it does not update files automatically.<br>
Any changes you make are written to the browser's cache.<br>
It will persist between uses unless you have your computer set to
clear cache on close.<br>
It could be wrapped as an installable app, but is more of a
prototype and has issues.<br>
