I have yet to learn the language, but I often wonder how practical Sitelen Pona is as a writing system. Like, if you wanted to mention a foreign word in it, how would you do it? Or do you do it at all?
Also, unrelated, what kind of names would babies have if they were named in the language?
I'm starting to feel like with every new script I make or use, I get obsessed over it, until something begins to feel off about it, like a deep, sinking feeling in my chest that tells me that something about this script is wrong, like no matter how many revisions or how many times you write it out you still feel dissatisfied with it, until you eventually drop it. Have you guys experienced this? How did you deal with it?
I'm seriously having so much fun writing this script, I even updated the key/guide for it. I still need to come up with a name for it though.
I do need some advice though. Since this is meant to ultimately be used by multiple people I may need some advice on how to build a community around people who also enjoy writing this same script. Please, any input is greatly appreciated!

i've always wanted to see what a comic in an african writing system would look like.
This is the first iteration of the script, inspired by existing African art and writing systems (Ge'ez, Nsibidi, Meroitic, Vai, etc.) It's meant to eventually become a pan-african script; I'm hoping to expand it to be able to write other African languages. Any thoughts, feedback or questions are greatly appreciated (PLEASE bro I'm BEGGING)
I consider myself a pan-African in the diaspora, and I really like the idea of Bantu languages having their own writing system. I agree that having an indigenous writing system for indigenous languages carries a lot of cultural pride and can even be better suited to the languages it’s for. I really wanna see Chivabwe, or something like it to be widely used. Are there any plans to make it widely used?
