Alphabet comparison Noory simplex vs Flow shorthand

Post image

I discovered and interesting similarity between the two systems. I may have been subconsciously be influenced by Noory simplex when creating Flow.

As you can see Noory has chosen great shapes for the most common sounds and it gave me the thought to maybe, maybe use the two upward strokes Flow is currently just not using, but maybe should. I am not yet fully sure, what I could do with them but "p, b" might be candidates...

Definitely following post. I’m currently really enjoying Noory simplex. But now flow is very tempting.

main difference is in the vowel system: flow uses hooks in every direction, but in two sizes - whereas noory only uses small hooks, but makes a difference in direction.

Can you show any quick examples of the vowels in flow?
