And of course, I'm already taking the first steps.

[jeromechoo@masto.ai]

@cheeaun all of us in the replies rn

[chris@nutmeg.social]

@cheeaun neat sandbox.

[null@llun.dev]

@cheeaun@mastodon.social can it type from bottom to top too

[deach@hachyderm.io]

@cheeaun very cool! How do you want to do combined Mongolian and something horizontal like a Latin script?

[shimon1024@mastodon.social]

@cheeaun Excellent!

[pinkprius@chaos.social]

@cheeaun amazing

[cheeaun@mastodon.social]

@deach that's… probably something like this https://w3c.github.io/i18n-drafts/articles/vertical-text/index.en

[deach@hachyderm.io]

@cheeaun right, it’s definitely a tricky compromise to make. I didn’t know there was a working draft for vertical text in CSS already. How do you feel about the current spec? I suppose you worked a lot with it

[cheeaun@mastodon.social]

@deach I'm not particularly knowledgeable about them. I used to spend a lot of time on implementing localization stuff, but not much on vertical text unfortunately.

This reminded me of articles by @huijing which have a lot more details and background:
