Gabor
Gabor has been working on a Pinyin + Chinese text editor. When you type it keeps both Pinyin and the Chinese characters visible and selectable, which is very useful for learning. It allows multiple users edit in real time, based on the protocol used by Etherpad’.
Pinyin is the official romanization system for Standard Chinese in mainland China

Damaris wants help with a “create your own adventure” type of thing, the technological side of it. Basically taking text fragments, tagging, clustering them. Building a 3D mindmap, where each node is a fragment. Then allowing people to “read” this by walking from one node to another. Also related to knowledge represenatation in AR/VR. If you want to talk about it, and help me understand the technical side of things (thank you!!), please reach out to hello@damariskroeber.com
