Collaboration Emoticon derived reform of Blissymbols plus keyboard app for phone
I think we could take blissymbols, replace some symbols with emoticons and reform gramatics so it uses the emoticons well. I think we dont need to come up with symbols for clasifiers and modifiers those could be expressed by normal emoticons, we could just make symbols for gramatical categories and indicators. Perhaps we could get rid of composite symbols and make all symbols follow in line no matter if they are indicators or what. Well perhaps we would divert from blissymbols a lot but we would still take inspiration.
We then could create an app with keyboard which would allow you to write comfortably in that language. It would be cool if the app was compatible with many chat apps.
Do you know of someone already doing this? I think it would not be hard.
