[Sw-l] signEditor

Wed Feb 9 18:46:18 UTC 2022

Hi Uta!!

     There is also QuickSignEditor, which I wrote and is open source 
too. https://jonathandduncan.github.io/QuickSignEditor/

     It doesn't currently have a good layout for mobile devices but I 
hoped that one day I would have time to do it.

     The main goal is to find the symbols faster. As for the hand I 
sorted them in another fashion.

     Each column is how many fingers are pointing away in any direction.

Each section is how tight the fingers are to the palm of the hand.  They 
go from a fist all the way to a flat hand.

In each section they are also sorted by how curved the fingers on the 
symbols are.

The all button is all of the available handshapes in SignWriting.

The common are the hand symbols common to ASL and LESHO (Honduras).  I 
had planned to add other symbols to it for LIBRAS and others but didn't 
end up doing that yet.

Also when you hover you can see pictures Adam took of those hand shapes 
which should be great for beginners.

Also a quick selector to get the orientation you want really easily.

The arrows too grouped by type.

and are spread across the different planes.

Feel free to steal any of my ideas there.

Regards Jonathan
