This layout sort of exemplifies cramming. I had almost the identical thing as a kid in the 1960s so I thought I would recreate it in memory of my Dad, who ran it more than I did back then. :-) submitted by /u/valuecolor to r/lioneltrains [link] [comments]

Typing Armenian on mobile is not convenient: 39 letters + punctuation crammed into four rows, keys so small you're hitting the wrong one constantly, constantly looking for letters, no suggestions on native iPhone, third party ones — nah. Most people I know just give up and type in Latin letters. I did too, for years. We just can't use a desktop keyboard on a small screen for Armenian. I got inspired how Japanese Kana layout handles a multitude of symbols, and built AyBe Armenian Keyboard using phonetic grouping: "Haykana Togh" comes with a grouped voiced, voiceless, aspirated consonant triplets and couples, "Haykana Karg" groups all letters into 3 lines of groups. Once you see the pattern, you even don't need to learn it, it just types instinctively. I myself use the first layout. I made a suggestion engine built from Tumanyan, Bakunts, real Armenian prose, my grandpa's two books and my own writing — not a generic word list. Stem-based suggestions give you completions for completions, tap-tap-tap and you wrote the text you wanted. There's also an orthography reference, emoji search in Armenian, the alphabet, the numeric system — all inside the keyboard app. Things that used to need a Google search are just there for rapid reference. I made a typing game based on Sasoontsi David epic, and composed a game theme based on Armenian music theory (more on that later)! All is on AppStore: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6761989694 Also check the website I made for the app: https://aybe.am I am looking for people who want to type in Armenian more comfortably! Here are the keyboards I created It's 4.99$ except some countries; not free, because I need to pay for the AppStore account and I think I am adding genuine value to your typing life. https://preview.redd.it/4qp3m4fgecvg1.jpg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=99e09c10498a23e3ca466969e84c4818e6f44a82 https://preview.redd.it/m1f794fgecvg1.jpg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=708ce7a30341ba971b8ccfb465e413945b97c1ad submitted by /u/SouthernAge4920 to r/armenia [link] [comments]

Hey r/macapps, Solo indie dev here. I've been reading ebooks on Mac for years and always felt stuck between two bad options: Calibre (incredible power, Qt interface from 2008) and Apple Books (beautiful, ignores half the EPUB spec, no way to manage your own library properly). So I built BookShelves. Problem I wanted one app that could: Actually render EPUB3 properly (Apple Books still breaks complex layouts) Let me browse and download public domain books without leaving the app Sync my library between Mac and iPhone via iCloud Read comics (CBZ/CBR/CB7) alongside regular ebooks Talk to my Calibre library over the network No existing reader did all of this natively on macOS. Compare vs Apple Books: BookShelves handles EPUB3 properly, has an OPDS catalog browser, Calibre wireless sync, and doesn't lock you into Apple's ecosystem for book purchases vs Calibre: Native Swift UI that actually looks like a Mac app. Plus an iOS companion with iCloud sync vs Yomu: Both native, but BookShelves adds comic book support, OPDS server, Calibre integration, and a built-in free book catalog If you remember Marvin (RIP) -- BookShelves is the closest modern equivalent What's included free: Read up to 10 books (EPUB, PDF, CBZ/CBR/CB7) Browse and download from Standard Ebooks, Internet Archive, and others (100k+ public domain titles) Full reading experience -- pagination, bookmarks, highlights, search Pricing Free to use with up to 10 books Pro: $2.99 $4.99 one-time (not a subscription, ever) -- unlocks unlimited books, iCloud sync, OPDS server, Calibre wireless sync, highlight export Tips available if you want to support development App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/bookshelves-ebook-reader/id6756848973 EDIT: The original post had a wrong App Store ID, it is corrected now.

TL;DR: A small group of overzealous fans ruin things for everyone by barraging the creator with questions until he refuses to answer them or anyone else ever again. I will start this post by saying out front that, yes, this is slightly absurd, but in all honesty it’s not any different from any of the other drama that surrounds children’s media with adult fanbases. Definitions you should know: Canon: The in-universe truth within a piece of media. For example, it's canon that James Bond drove an Aston Martin that could turn invisible in Die Another Day. Fanon: Something that the fan community has invented, possibly out of partial facts, or out of whole cloth, and is subsequently treated as true. For example, the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom created a dense and broad list of fanon names, personalities, relationships, and occupations for the background characters in Ponyville. Unlike almost any other fandom before or since, the Bronies managed to get many of these characters canonized into the show. This is not normal. Headcanon: Like fanon, but for one person. For example, many people believe that in Star Trek, Captain Kirk and Spock are gay for each other, despite this never occurring in canon. This is headcanon. OC - “Original Character” - basically any character that you, the fan, make yourself. This can and does cross over and intersect with both Fanon and Headcanon. Going back to Star Trek, the Star Trek: Lower Decks character T’lyn was originally a cosplay character made/performed by writer Kathryn Lyn years before the show ever started. After later getting a writing job on ST: LDS, Lyn wrote her OC into the show, to wild fan acclaim. Again, this is not normal, and this does not usually happen. OCs are usually a creation of a single writer/creator, which stays contained to that creator’s fan works. Lore: We'll get to that… Introduction: Thomas the Tank Engine has lore? For the uninitiated, Thomas the Tank Engine (TTTE) - also known as Thomas and Friends - is a children’s media franchise based on a book series called the Railway Series (RWS), written by Rev. Wilbert Awdry and later his son Christopher Awdry between 1945 and 2012. The books and TV show) follow the adventures and life of Thomas the Tank Engine, a talking steam engine who lives on the Island of Sodor. Depending on if you’re reading the books or watching the tv show (and which version of the tv show you’re watching), Sodor is either a semi-magical island that exists somewhere near England, or it’s very specifically a large island off the coast of Cumbria that occupies the space between Barrow-In-Furness and the Isle of Man. This wide gap in specificity and realism will be important later. One of the hallmarks of the RWS books is their dedication to realism and accuracy. (The TV show is less so, but that’s not important for this particular bit of drama) The events in the books are almost always based in a real life anecdote, and the steam and diesel engines that make up the characters all have real world bases that are (mostly) accurately illustrated. Following in the footsteps of many authors before him, Wilbert Awdry released a 154 page lore book in the late 1980s entitled The Island of Sodor; Its People, History, and Railways. (TIOS) This book goes into the sort of extreme detail you’d expect from a British fantasy book author, up to and including the early history of Sodor going back to the Norman and Viking invasions in the early 900s, the inclusion of a conlang called Sudric, and detailed descriptions of the backstories of almost every engine and major human character put on paper. This was not an unexpected development - Wilbert Awdry had been inventing lore about the franchise since the 1940s, as curious children wrote him to ask about specific details in the books. (We must also note that the books had originally been stories created for his son Christopher, who had demanded such consistency from his father’s bedtime stories that they were eventually written down, leading to their later publication.) Following the publication of TIOS, Wilbert continued giving out lore to children who asked him, and giving talks to fans of the books who had since grown up and become adults, where even more lore was distributed. It should be noted at this point that the RWS was a wild success within the UK, and the nascent heritage/preserved railway industry owes a lot to the franchise. If you like trains in England, you know who Wilbert is and probably adore his books. This isn’t going to be directly relevant, but it’s good to have in the back of your mind. Another fact that should be noted but doesn’t have a good narrative point in this tale is the success of the Thomas and Friends TV series (TVS) in the USA. Premiering on PBS in the early 90s, the show and its merchandising empire would become a multi-billion dollar juggernaut by the early 2000s. If you were a kid around that time, and you showed the slightest hint of interest in trains or other heavy machinery, you knew who Thomas was and loved him. Sadly, Wilbert died in 1997. His son Christopher had taken his place as author of the RWS in 1983, but by the time his father died, his last book was already a year old. He wouldn’t write another until 2006, and then the next - and to date, last - one would come out in 2012. In the meantime, the TVS and its fast-and-loose approach to continuity, lore, characterization, scriptwriting, and real-world accuracy, would become the dominant form of TTTE media throughout the 2000s and beyond. Part 0: The internet Naturally, most fandom drama takes place online, and this is no exception. With TTTE being a franchise dating back to the 40s, fan spaces have been around long enough to have their own “eras.” In the early 2000s and going into the 2010s, Sodor Island Fansite and their Sodor Island Forum (SiF) was the place to be. It was a one-stop-shop for discussion on fan theories, community news, and even fan fiction. However, as the 2010s continued, SiF began to fall off in relevance for a variety of reasons that I’m still fuzzy on. The fandom began to disperse to the various walled gardens of social media. As far as I’m aware, there are fandom groups across every form of social media, but there’s a “big” four group of sites that most of the fandom uses/exists on: Twitter, Youtube, Tumblr, and Discord. The interactions between these communities can be summed up as thus: Youtube and Twitter are the popular kids sitting next to each other at lunch. Discord is the awkward kid who sits next to the popular kids and occasionally talks to them. Tumblr is home-schooled. The following drama, which I cannot stress enough is stupid and petty and incredibly meaningless to 99.999998% of the population, occurred in two parts - the first was on Youtube and Twitter, before spilling over into Discord for an out-of-left field conclusion. Part 1: I know Lore, he’s Data’s brother! I’m sure that some of us may be aware of the obsession modern media has with “Lore.” If you have ever seen Captain Kirk blow up the Death Star, The Avengers fight off the Borg, or Han Solo rescue Sokovian citizens from Ultron, you are well aware of what Lore is, but also the exact kind of person who is obsessed with it. You have encountered these people online. You have encountered representations of these people in media. You may have even had the misfortune to encounter them in real life. These are the Uber-Nerds, the proverbial basement-dwelling keyboard warriors who want an explanation for every little thing that ever happened “in-universe”, whether it was on-screen or not. Y'know, these guys. These people are tragic figures, ones who engage with a beloved piece of media so much that they can no longer see the forest for the trees. One must wonder if they even enjoy it anymore, or if they ever did. I think they do. The amount of effort they put in would be inexplicable and slightly horrifying otherwise. Now, as I mentioned before, Thomas the Tank Engine provides the avid fan with an absolutely phenomenal amount of lore, especially considering the intended audience is supposed to be under eight years old. This means that there is a terrifying and inexorable confluence, a melding of the Uber-Nerd with the only person more insufferable: the Foamer. Part 2: What on earth is a foamer? To put it simply, “foamer” is a derogatory term for anyone who likes trains just a little bit too much. (Or a lot too much.) It comes from the idea that these people are literally foaming at the mouth when they see a train, and the nickname has stuck. In practice, Foamers aren’t too dissimilar from anyone else who’s a mega-fan of a certain thing. If you go to board game, anime, or comic conventions, it will become very clear that foamers are just a different flavor of the same personality type, right down to the occasionally-appalling personal hygiene. The only major difference is that foamers don’t look like a white bedsheet come to life, because foaming is a hobby that necessitates a lot of time outdoors, preferably in the bright sunshine. Full disclosure: I am a foamer. Everything I know about this group comes from lived experience. Remember how I said if you liked trains even a little, you loved Thomas? It works the other way around as well. This talking train children’s show is a major reason I am the man I am today. I have been watching it since I was 2. I am now 30. Part 3: Lore-poisoning on the Orient Express The “small domino” in the chain leading to this drama probably takes place in 2021. The Tallyllyn Railway (good luck pronouncing that) is a small Welsh tourist railway that has a close connection with the RWS and the TVS. In the 1960s, Wilbert Awdry discovered and then liked the place so much that he copied it wholesale within the RWS, creating the Skarloey Railway that some of you may know if you watched the show. This was very beneficial for the Tallyllyn, and they kept a close relationship with the Awdry family that remains to this day, to the point where Wilbert’s study, notes, and model railways are now on display in the railway’s main depot building. This leads us to 2021, when the Tallyllyn organized the first “Awdry Extravaganza.” The extravaganza featured a bunch of TTTE/RWS themed displays, including the first public display of one of Wilbert Awdry’s layouts in many years, but the standout was the reading of one of Wilbert’s old lectures from the 70s… with some new lore about a new locomotive that lived on the Island of Sodor. For the fan community, this was Christmas in August. Everyone rushed to update their rolling stock lists, write new fanfiction, and create fanart of the new character. (Just so that we’re clear - the engine’s name, origin, history, and description were released. At no point was the engine’s personality revealed, or anything else. This is common.) All was good. There were more Awdry Extravaganzas organized in future years, and every year we got a little bit more Lore™, up to the most recent (2025) Awdry extravaganza that revealed that, among other things, Sodor was in the process of building a nuclear power plant. Now, some of this information was gleaned from Wilbert’s copious notes, but obviously the “modern day” information had to come from somewhere, namely Christopher Awdry… Part 4: Do you not see that you are feeding the sharks? Chris Awdry’s relationship with TTTE has always been rather interesting to ponder. Like his father, he’d grown increasingly displeased with the outlandish plots of the TVS. Like his father, he’d written half of the RWS, and a lore book, Sodor: Reading Between the Lines (RBL). However, while his father had spent numerous pages talking about Sudric-Viking battles in the 970s (this is a real thing that he did), Christopher was willing to be more restrained. A good deal of RBL was spent explaining the circumstances in which his books were written, and it seemed that I learned much more about Christopher Awdry’s disdain for his publishers, the TV show, and having to shoehorn Thomas the Tank Engine into every story than I did anything about the Island of Sodor. RBL was written in 2005, and like TIOS, is long out of print. However, at some point in 2020 or early 2021, copies of the book came up for sale on ebay in sizable numbers. Even better, the seller promised that he had access to Chris Awdry, (who was a reported shut-in during much of the 2010s and 2000s) and you could send in a question or two and he’d answer them to the best of his ability. After all, he was born in 1940, and at the time was 81. We can only ask so much of him. (This is foreshadowing.) Around the same time he seemed to answer a few questions via email, and the fan community jumped on these nuggets of lore. The youtube community, who had no trouble making up their own ideas, concepts, and OCs when there was no lore, made video after video recounting, explaining, and unpacking these new revelations. Even Chris’s illustrator, Clive Spong, got in on the action, and in 2025 he sat for an interview with a notable fandom content creator to answer some questions and make up some lore seemingly on the spot. The fandom loved this, and the content mill churned ever-forward. Of course, there was another reason why Chris Awdry started answering these questions - he was probably testing the waters. In 2025, he re-released RBL through Full-Steam-Ahead publishing, (FSA) an organization meant to distribute all of his non-RWS books. The book release itself went… fine. There were some misspellings, factual errors, and other problems, but it’s effectively a self-published book don’t look at it too closely mmmkay? However, there was a side effect. FSA was a company, with an email address. You could now reach out to them, and maybe… just maybe, get him to answer some more questions. Part 5: Bad news! The sharks are stupid. Most of us in the fandom were content not to bother Chris Awdry. Those of us who did, did so through prescribed channels. (Did I buy a copy of RBL off of ebay? Yes, yes I did. Did I ask a question? No. I asked two.) Most of us are not Nictrain123. Nic, as he was referred to, was a fairly big player in the TTTE fan community, with a Youtube channel, highly prolific Twitter account (I think he had over 105,000 tweets), a Deviantart account (lol), and was also the mod/owner of a sizable fan Discord server. Nic had a friend by the name of Justin Bittle, also known as “Awdryverse.” Justin had been a somewhat well-known content creator in the TTTE sphere, however I can’t say that I’ve ever heard of him. This is perhaps a good thing because he does appear to be a raging MAGA supporter who may or may not be transphobic. He got canceled for this once, which is presumably why I don’t know him. Together, Nic and Justin hatched a scheme, one on par with the slightly-satirized version of Eric and Donald Trump Jr. that the Onion keeps posting: They were going to put their brains together and ask Chris Awry some questions. They were going to ask Chris Awdry all the questions. From what I have heard, the initial document was 101 Dalmatians questions long. That’s as many as five 20.2s. And that’s terrible. So they “enlisted” some other help. Rhys Davies is a normal human being who got dragged into this lunacy mostly against his will. He’s a published author who wrote one book about imaginary maps and one book about saving the Titanic via time travel. (This is not a dig, they’re both good books) He’s also a veteran in the TTTE fan-sphere, having been at SiF during its peak, and since then having found a comfortable niche on Twitter and Discord making imaginary maps, rolling stock, fanon, and OCs for the Island of Sodor. Because his book on imaginary cartography is award winning, his maps are actually quite good, and he’s viewed favorably by the fandom. He’s also in Nic’s Discord server, and knew Nic and Justin through the fan community, which is presumably how he got Nic and Justin’s steaming pile of hot garbage dropped on him. According to him, he made a quick pass, found it all “a bit much”, and then bounced from the project. Nevertheless, Nic and Justin assumed this meant he approved what he had done, added his name to the credits, and after paring it down to a mere 77 questions, sent it off to Chris Awdry. Part 6: I wish I thought of giving it a once over God bless Chris Awdry, because he actually tried to answer these rambling, idiotic questions. I’ll link them here, but you don’t have to read them, and really if you’re not into the TTTE fan community, these mean borderline nothing. As a TTTE fan, these are appalling in their quality. It is every negative stereotype of fandom rolled into one document. Leading statements, poorly phrased blocks of text that lacked question marks at the end, questions all but begging “Please make my OC real.” “Please validate my headcanon,” “Look at my OC.” “Look at someone else’s OC.” “Do you remember this one detail from 60+ years ago?” “At no point will we ask anything about what you wrote, just about the things your dad wrote about.” etc, etc, etc. It’s moon man talk, and I can’t believe that these were sent, let alone responded to. And yes, Chris Awdry, age 85, really responded to these. Not to all of them, of course. He got 16 questions done before Nic couldn’t take the suspense anymore, and gave the answered questions to Sodor Island Models, (SIM) another fan-content YouTube channel. SIM (who, just to be clear, is merely a messenger in this debacle) released the video on January 18th, and the backlash started immediately. See, Nic and Justin had (among other things) asked about some of the fandom’s favorite characters, both canon and fanon. I think their aim was to learn more about the canon characters and get the fanon ones “canonized”, but what actually happened was that a good number of them got de-canonized. Engines with “established” fanon names were quickly renamed in a single email, and others… well, let’s talk about the Works Diesel. The Works Diesel is/was a British Rail Class 47 that had shown up in a few of Chris’s books, and had been widely assumed by the fandom to be a background character on the Island of Sodor - one of the Fat Controller’s engines, but not one we see in the books. Instead, Christopher very clearly stated that this engine was not one of the Fat Controller's engines and had merely been borrowed from the mainland rail network when the story took place. This was a shocking revelation to many, as the Works Diesel had become somewhat of a fanon mainstay, especially during SiF's period of prominence during the 2000s and 2010s. After all of these revelations, the four nations of the TTTE ecosystem reacted as expected. Youtube made videos about the new lore Discord made some noises about the new canon Tumblr remained steadfastly unaware that anything had happened at all And then the Fire Nation attacked Twitter got involved. Many mean tweets were made. The users of Elon Musk’s Facism Platform (featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry Series) [and Knuckles Grok] made it very clear that they were displeased with Chris Awdry’s decision. Laboring under the impression that Chris Awdry had a brainwave in a similar fashion to JK Rowling saying that all wizards shit themselves, they got upset and started making noise. They had no idea that Nic and Justin were behind this. And Nic and Justin had no interest in telling. Part 7: We're all trying to find the guy who did this Of all the things in this story, the one part that I truly find unbelievable is that Chris Awdry uses Twitter. The man is 85 years old. A grandfather. Someone who I wouldn’t expect to know how Twitter works. For god’s sake, my dad is 20 years his junior and can barely make his iPhone do what he wants. But he must! Because the next day, on January 19th, FSA posted a statement on Twitter: Please be aware that due to the influx of questions that we have received we will not be passing any more over to Christopher at this time. This is due to the reason that Christopher has already mentioned in Sodor Reading Between the Lines that some questions should not be answered by him, but by the fans. He has seen the recent social media posts regarding the recent RWS questions that he answered, and was saddened to see the fans turn on each other, and in some cases himself, with some calling the answers lazy, uncaring and the answers rushed. This is something that should never have been allowed to happen. If you ask him a question, and do not like the answer then don’t ask in the first place. So, as his publisher and first port of call we have decided that Christopher should refrain from answering any further questions. For every question he answers, another two, three or four seem to be fired back at him. This shows no end of slowing, so therefore he is allowing the fans to be creative and have their own interpretation of what the Railway Series means to them. He is 85 years old, and is retired. Imagine if you will that he left Sodor in 2010 and hadn’t been back since. The world of Sodor has moved on, thanks to other people’s creativity. Let’s not stop people from having fun with it. This in no way means he is not talking to fans, and is looking forward to seeing everyone at the Swanage Railway event in April. Please do not take this message as a rebuttal, but more of a guide that you can now have fun with your own interpretation and do your own thing with the characters that many love. Kind regards Christopher and the Team at Full-Steam-Ahead Well done everyone. You’ve successfully managed to drive the author out of the fandom. We truly are really useful. The Twitter finger pointing continued for about a day before Nic decided, inexplicably, to release the “questionnaire” he’d sent to Chris Awdry, in its entirety, on his Twitter. I have no idea if it was guilt, self-promotion, or a genuine delusion that he hadn’t done anything wrong, but oh man was that not the right call. The fandom was… not pleased at the quality and quantity of questions Nic and Justin wrote, and made their opinions quite clear on twitter, to the point where Nic made a statement and then “went on Twitter hiatus” on the 22nd. A good part of the rage came from the fact that Nic and Justin had represented themselves as speaking for all fans, when in reality you could be a fairly active member of the fandom and have never even heard of them at all. Truly, C-List actor levels of delusion. Justin and Rhys also made statements around this time. Rhys explained his part in the whole debacle, and curiously mentioned that he was not distancing himself from Justin, something that Nic had also mentioned before going on hiatus. Justin then announced that he was not transphobic, nor a fascist, nor did he advocate for genocide against trans people, and then said he would be leaving Twitter. We’ll get back to that in a minute... Part 8: I think it’s been a minute The ending of this entire nonsense is perhaps the smallest of the small stakes currently at play here. At around 7:00 PM (US-EST) on January 23rd, someone in Nic’s Discord server called him out with a screenshot of him liking one of Justin’s particularly transphobic Twitter posts. It seems that this post (and Nic’s liking of it) is at least 3 years old, and may or may not have been screenshotted and then sat on for some time. The reasons for doing this are unclear and I'm not particularly sure a “true” answer will be found. A flurry of angry Discord posts soon followed, Nic’s attempts at explaining himself turned into him shooting himself in the foot, and within the hour he had been forced to give up his own Discord server and leave, to general calls of good riddance. Several of the remaining server mods were trans people already, so ownership was transferred to someone in that group. Additionally, Nic and Justin deleted their Twitter accounts, making research for this so much more difficult. All is well, right? Is this the end? Not quite: the mass of Discord users had rapidly approached “angry mob” territory, and rapidly discovered that Rhys had also refused to distance himself from Justin. Talk very quickly escalated, and by some minor miracle Rhys showed up in the server at what must have been 3 or 4 in the morning GMT to explain himself: he had legitimately not known about Justin’s past behavior, and assumed the public anger at Justin had been due to differences in politics, not “he’s a transphobe.” Once he explained himself, everyone seemed to calm down. Time will only tell if this ongoing drama squeezes out anything else juicy. Part 9: The juice will be squeezed Oh who the fuck am I kidding. Come April, Chris Awdry is making one of his first public appearances in 20 years. Somebody is going to bother him, I can feel it. Quick Update It's now the 11th of February, and SIM just posted a video interview with Chris Awdry. The actual contents of this don't matter, so let's go onto the comments...
