I’m sorry, never heard about shorthand systems.
What’s that?
And why can’t we have a comparable community here? (Like the one you linked and it’s about screen didn’t really give me any info on what it’s about ;-))
Shorthand is a method of writing faster and/or more compactly. Speeds over 200 words per minute are attested, or fitting an entire printed page on a sticky note.
It’s an extremely niche interest, so the main thing preventing a comparable community here is enough active users who are interested. I’ve wanted to do a series of posts teaching one of the systems, but I’ve not hand the chance.
As I’m rocking a reMarkable, my priorities would be ranked:
speed
size on page
Everything else, I’m not exactly decided on, like number of users isn’t really important to me, because I’m mostly taking notes for myself.
Phonetics also aren’t really important, because I’m mostly focused on technical stuff.
Study time? Well, it is what it is. And when it’s worth it, I’ll put in the time. But maybe it would be nice to have something quickly rewarding to start?
But this probably shouldn’t be orientated about my needs.
Anything you provide about this interesting topic, especially when you include practical usage, is absolutely appreciated!
I’ve actually been interested in shorthand for years. If you want to migrate over some of the better old content from reddit, I’ll sub and see what happens

That sounds pretty cool actually! :-D
Is it hard to learn?
And could you maybe give me some entry level links or so?
I think so!
The difficulty depends on several things, but the easiest systems can be picked up enough to use in a few days to weeks.
I’ll try to put together an intro post this weekend. How would you rank these features?

You know what, why not? I’ll give it a go. Let’s see what happens.
