Singlish Pro - Professional Transliteration Engine
A high-performance NPM package that brings seamless phonetic Sinhala typing to any modern web application.
Project Overview
Singlish Pro is a developer-focused, zero-dependency library built for high-performance transliteration. It uses a sophisticated buffer-based engine to handle complex phonetic clusters perfectly. With native support for React, Next.js, Vue, and Angular, it enables developers to add Sinhala input capabilities to their apps in minutes, complete with a professional UI toggle and a stylized keyboard guide.

Challenges & Solutions
Real-time Phonetic Parsing
Achieving zero-latency transliteration while handling multi-character sequences.
Implemented a custom buffer logic that matches keystrokes against an optimized phonetic tree, ensuring instant feedback without UI blocking.
Framework Agnosticism
Creating a single source of truth that works across disparate frontend ecosystems.
Engineered a core class-based engine with a universal lifecycle API, allowing for easy wrapping into framework-specific abstractions like Hooks and Composables.
UX for Sinhala Typing
Making phonetic typing intuitive for users while providing quick access to mapping guides.
Designed a sleek, floating UI toggle and a modern 'Keyboard Layout' modal that acts as a real-time reference for complex characters.
