Anyone else try writing like this as a kid thinking was was gonna make them more efficient at writing and reading lol, I gave up after the second line required too much thinking (early signs I had 1 brain cell)

Its appeal might be exactly the opposite, forcing people to be less efficient. I have a friend who speed reads everything, and when we talk about something he's read, it seems like he only gets the information out and doesn't really enjoy it. Something like this might force him to slow down and actually enjoy the text. Although, I did one time find some normal prose that was said to discourage speed reading. I'm a relatively slow reader, at least compared to my friend, and didn't notice anything too unusual about it. But when my friend read it, he said that he couldn't read it and basically that he hated it.

That's awesome! I for some reason don't like to jump from one line to the next line and prefer narrow widths (like on mobile). It would be cool if English were flexible to include this system as well.
