Did not think kanji. Brain went to ouija and jumanji. Pretty neat!

#14This is really cool :) A cool next project for you or someone: use ML to see which words produce the most interesting images. "diverge" produces something that looks like a heart for example lol
You don’t need an ML, each letter and based on its location on the keyboard draw a predictable path, so you can draw whatever you want somehow

Yeah, but I was imagining iterating over all English words from a dictionary. Using actual words could be more interesting than random characters potentially

#19LG also has this as a keyboard input feature named "Swype".
See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swype (Not LG but seems like it's the same thing and same name)

#20I made something a bit similar to this when trying to make a new shorthand. It was made by translating to stenotype and then following rules to convert the stenotype runes to a kanji like form. Eventually I decided it wasn’t faster than existing shorthand, mainly because of the mental overhead of converting to and from stenotype.
I never coded it (I only used it a few times for handwriting before I decided it was bad) but it might be a cool project.
