[Sw-l] Feedbacks about mobile app to write in SignWriting

[Jonathan Duncan]

Hi Adelaide,
     This is an exciting project!!

     At first I had a hard time getting around the prototype just 
because a lot of features (buttons) aren't clickable.  But then when I 
saw the green squares it helped me get around.

I really like the symbol circle. To choose the rotation.  I have 
something similar in my program SignWriter Studio.  Just to let you know 
that it´s intuitive for many symbols but not so much for others, that´s 
why for some symbols in my program I just show a list to choose the 
rotation, but of course being in a circle doesn't really make it any 
worse for those either.  I really like how the circle appears afterward 
and is a big space saver on the screen.





The T9 like completion looks great.

You should try modeling your prototype with a more complex hand shape 
than the flat hand.  If you were to use an open 5 hand where you can see 
the thumb and baby finger you would see that you would need 4 more 
buttons for the left hands (rotations 9 through 16)



Wish you the best

Regards,
Jonathan
