The initial set of glyphs for glyphbyte were invented by me with no formal research and no data on how easy they would be to draw and recognize. It was just my best effort and guess.
Based on some insight from my good friend hzrd149 (nprofile…e307) I am researching better glyphs that are easier to draw and also optimized for detection.
So if you're excited about glyphbyte, I just wanted to let you know that version 2 is coming and both sets of glyphs will remain supported.
I had the idea for glyphbyte literally 10 years ago and Claude built it for me in one day. 🤯
Thanks for the positive feedback! I'm excited to attach pieces of the internet to random objects with crayons. 🖍️
If you want to be able to find your events via glyph byte, make sure you're using a relay that supports partial prefix searches like wss://wheat.oslim.dev
