Two months ago, I had a breakthrough with web development and the Globus API.  I've create two of five major applications. Full speed ahead.  Today, I realized the same type of system would be great for SignWriting.

And with the Sutton SignWriting Web Components, I only had to add two lines of code to the index.html page to support SignWriting.
