Starts with Sillabix, a stenographer in the Italian courts using Michela 🎹 theory.

They created resources on how to use Michela theory for writing English here.

Now over to me, where I have coded these rules into Froj to automate about 90,000 words (each word has about 10 outlines/briefs) so English Michela has a base dictionary!

Now onto Notnotwrong who has whipped out their keyboard (🎹 this kind) and has begun the undertaking of learning this theory. Using FrojBot to explain outlines, with Sillabix correcting any mistakes it gives 😅.

I believe it took about a week to reach a promising 20wpm.

Michela was designed to be somewhat universal, so it's great to see this revived, here's the original English Michela back from 1882!
