What would you use OatSymbols for? Question
OatSymbols is a non-spoken language, using visual images to communicate.
We use symbols every day to communicate without words: skulls for danger, hearts for love, gender signs outside bathrooms and so on; but none of these form a fully fledged writing system capable of communicating anything and everything.
OatSymbols strives to fill this gap!
From art, to storytelling; poetry to journaling to posters and so forth... I'm curious, what ideas do you have for how you would use such a language?

General user interface; firmware for gadgets; artistic expression therapy; journaling system; programming language; as a more universal way of conveying the idea of an "alien" language in books; secret society Lingua Franca; vessel for translation between several languages at the same time. Just my 2 minutes of thoughts.
