hatchet news

Hello HN, I'm pythonbrad and a core maintainer of Afrim - an input method engine for African languages.

Afrim want to simplify the typing in African languages and also digitalize the African typing systems. Basically, it wants to solve the problems encountered with current solutions: - slow typing - not easily configurable - keyboard layout dependent - constant bugs

Additionally, Afrim offers the following features [1]: - Dataset easily customizable - Keyboard layout independent - Auto completion, autocorrection and autosuggestion - Support all sequential codes

Technical details [2]: Afrim is written in Rust and his architecture is inspired of RIME.

What's next? - Offer an android frontend of the Afrim (in development) [3] - Support more African input methods as possible

I would like to have your opinions about this project. I have been working on it so far, and I would like to know how I can improve it.
