#52Please see this previous post for relevant further thoughts on the idea: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37510829 . Additionally I thought it would be cool to have the inputs go in reverse too, like putting in swipes and getting text.

#53I tried making a face; I think I was pretty successful: aetopjgghghghdfdfdfacnk This method of drawing reminds me of portraits I've seen of "string art" [1], where strings are tied to pins across a board. The detail is not within the strings themselves but in how they intersect. Unfortunately, I couldn't manage this, but I'm sure someone could. Fun project!

#55So I wanted to view my 'palette' of options If you paste this into the box, you'll get to see all possible shapes generated. You can then combine them to make shapes And if you remove the spaces, you get an almost solid block.

#57Earlier quoted context omitted.
The original swype algorithm was far better than whatever ML-stuff gboard and iOS have these days.
I know! Every day when GBoard breaks down on its "glide" feature I miss my Swype. It was such an amazing keyboard, it's just plain sad.
This is why core technology shouldn't be proprietary IP. It should all be open source.

The algorithm for that is kind of inverse tomographic reconstruction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomographic_reconstructionm : “Tomographic reconstruction is a type of multidimensional inverse problem where the challenge is to yield an estimate of a specific system from a…
Wow, never heard about this before. You've inspired me to have a crack at making a tomographic reconstruction filter myself :)
