Andie and I may be close to signing off on a final design for the site. If we do go with the current plan, technically it’s quite complex to implement. That’s probably not a surprise: “good enough” isn’t something either of us is really comfortable with. We want a strong, individual design even if it is hard to code.
I have also been working on the hieroglyphs. I need to spend more time on cartouches as they don’t quite meet at the corners, but progress has been good. As well as the basic, everyday glyphs I’ve a set of full colour glyphs as an alternative. They are great for tutorials – I’m using them in the user guide I have started to write. Even better, rotation is now available for all glyphs which moves us convincingingly beyond WikiHiero and most online solutions.
I have also started writing up development notes and release notes for each version. It’s not necessary yet, but it is best practice. It means I’ll be ready when I wish to release the code as plugin. In practice that won’t be until the magazine has launched as I want to make sure everything is stable and working perfectly before I release the code. Andie and I also want to benefit exclusively from our parser for a few months as well.
