Bad Conlanging Ideas (2020-04-06 03:07:31) :
I think that approach might walk you into the domain of philosophical languages. In order to subdivide the space you need to establish boundaries, which then must become explicit vowels. Any variability is then merely allophony that can be mapped to real phonemes, and the whole point of it is lost. The phonetic realization might be within any arbitrary, non-overlapping subdivision of the possible vowel space, but those still can (and must) be labelled for communication to be meaningful. Like wit...

And now, a monologue about site performance and what I'm going to do about it.
Truth be told, the current software stack behind Annie is never going to be blazing fast. All of its features come at a cost to performance. The single worst culprit of this is a conflict between programming paradigms: Cadre's page template philosophy encourages encapsulation (routing all activity through smaller pieces of code to keep it cleanly isolated) but this results in a lot of individual SQL queries (...

Wow. What year is it? Okay. Yikes. Been a while.
As may have been clear from recent bugs, I'm finally getting back into spending a lot of time on web development stuff. This in particular means lavishing Annie with long-deserved attention—maybe not the kind that will finally make the forums run smoothly, but definitely at least some of the stuff I was talking about doing way back in the olden days and never got around to executing on.

To be honest, a simple encyclopedia-style paragraph introducing the money would suffice; the traditional conworlding approach is, after all, to emulate Wikipedia as much as possible. But if you feel like putting together a bespoke piece, both a longer-form description of your design choices (probably again from an in-world perspective) or an article discussing your methods would both be valuable contributions to the community.
