I agree with more or less everything people have said about the advantages of the text being actual text.
But also it’s fun and nice to have it handwritten and I think the benefits are non trivial.
So. Both? Just have both versions so everyone can enjoy the version that’s best for them?
I’ll go ahead and transcribe this one. (i’m currently learning two different alternative methods of typing and I’m at a stage where transcription is better practice than normal writing, and doing this will give be a nice opportunity to reflect on the post). I’ll have it done this weekend. Let me know where I should post the text.
(I basically agree that having the transcript would be good, but don’t think Abram should be any particular obligation to do so – exploring whimsical formats seems fine to me and if other people find it valuable enough to write a transcript that sounds good too)
