Description
Lingua is a conlang builder for iPhone. Draw your letters with a finger, and the app turns them into a real font and a keyboard you can type with. Build a dictionary, a phonology, and grammar rules that actually conjugate. Post lines in your own script to a timeline where every post carries its letter shapes and a meaning line, so anyone can read it. Widgets put your own numerals and month names on the home screen. Free to start; paid plans add more.

Could you build this?
Partial Generating a custom font file (.ttf/.otf) dynamically from drawn bezier vectors, creating an iOS Custom Keyboard Extension, and building a custom rule-based morphological conjugator involves complex niche domain engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires an iOS app using UIKit/SwiftUI for vector stroke capture, converting rasterized or vector paths into TrueType/OpenType font files using libraries like FreeType or custom OpenType tables. It also demands an iOS Custom Keyboard Extension to install the system font and keyboard layout, paired with a custom rule engine or finite-state transducer for natural language phonology and grammar conjugation.
