Hi, thanks for reminding me of the license issue. I’ll need a little time to fix this, because the basis was created by two other people – Andreas Hofer wrote the generator for Grundschrift and came up with the infrastructure for drawing curves from text, and Andreas Martin added the Aufbauschrift 2 symbols. I’m currently in a cleanup and extension process and hope to finish Aufbauschrift 2 and ASCII “Stiefo-code” soon. I already had a brief look at generating SVG (from Python). It shouldn’t be that hard, because you “just” need to plug in the output from |
Great stuff! Just to explain: The reason I'm interested in experimenting with WASM is that it is much more portable than Python. There are runtime bindings for many languages, therefore it would be easier to use this logic on, e.g., the web, or Android. But thanks for responding so quickly! I'm curious to see how it all turns out. |
Hi Florian,
fühl Dich frei, ich erhebe keinen Anspruch.
Grüße, Andreas

Andreas Hofer didn’t mind sharing the code back then when Andreas
Martin and me put it on github. But I’ll check back with both of them.

Hi @effjot , hi @AndreasMartin72 , I was thinking about using this project to implement a Stiefo generator in my Android app Stiefo. Do you agree with this? And does Andreas Hofer (according to the README the main author?) also agree with this or how can I reach him? I haven't found anything about him or his work beside the mention. |
Hi, The last few weeks have been crazy busy, so I forgot to have a look at the license issue. I had a look at the license overview @y0hy0h mentioned. I think MIT license should be fine, and we’d be happy if you’d mention the authors in your app. I’ll confirm the license with both Andreases to be sure, but I guess they are ok with it. Andreas Martin already wrote a message here in this issue, and Andreas Hofer told us we are free to upload his code to Github back then. |
@patzly Also, I guess the drawing itself and flipping the axes shouldn’t be that much of a problem. Converting symbols.py to Java might be more difficult. ;-) |
Thanks a lot, that's great! It will take some time to implement that whole thing so no hurry :) First I'll take care of implementing the Grundschrift, that's most important (thanks for the commit suggestion!). If that goes well and I have enough time, Aufbauschrift I is the next step. This ASCII thing sounds interesting, what exactly do you mean with it? For typing texts on a keyboard with a "stiefo typeface" like a ttf font file? I'm excited about the work with symbols.py ;) |
btw, how did you create the symbols that are in your app already? |
Ahh now I understand! Thank you for the detailed explanation, your ideas for loops and all that stuff are pretty clever! All the symbols which are green in the app are made in Inkscape (with the images from stiefo-kompakt.de as templates), then imported into Android Studio as VectorDrawables (like SVG for Android). All the other word images are directly from stiefo-kompakt.de, Thomas Reinartz allowed me to integrate them. 667 bitmaps... Now my dream is that all the drawables and images in the app (even the seperate symbols for the consonants table) will be generated in real time, that would make the app much smaller and the resource management a lot easier. |
Have you improved the symbols of the Grundschrift yet after |
I made some minor adjustments to the spacing of „i“ and to the shape of R, F, K, L (rounded bottom part) and J, NG (steeper). I have put the tag You can see the changes here: aho-grundschrift...grundschrift Maybe we should open a new thread/issue here for further discussion of this? |
We have put the project under the MIT license today. |
Maybe I'll have the time and energy to dabble with generating Stiefo, so I'd like to be able to take inspiration from your code. But I noticed that your code is unlicensed.
While this is not too big a deal for me (I can write new code), it might be offputting for other users of the library. So maybe you might want to choosealicense.com.
What I currently plan on experimenting with, is writing some Rust code for inputting the Stiefo "pseudo-code" and outputting SVGs. I plan on trying out WASM, so maybe there is even a way to integrate it back into this project via a WASM runtime like wasmtime.
And please tell me how you feel about me copying the curve definitions from your code! If you're fine with it, I might do that. ;)
