Parts of the United States celebrate Patriots' Day, today, celebrating the anniversary of the first battles of the American Revolution and---on a more global scale---sparking the Atlantic Revolutions.

Minute Man

I don't go in for nationalistic holidays, but I think this one can be justified.

Anyway...

This is shaping up. I tried to find a better sliding tile, but experiments didn't pan out, so I worked out a better workflow for the sliding, instead, and that'll have to be fine, for now.

I also added alphabets, generalizing the code so that they can be added easily. In addition, diacritical marks are now optional, based on a menu option.

Finally, the menu can also show a basic About dialog box.

Next

I'll probably add alphabets this week, and clean up the About box, which I think completes the basic functionality.

The next step would be to set up a server to catch the saved names.

At that point...I guess I start figuring out the process of submitting this to the app stores?
