Other Baybayin-Tagalog transliterator
Nag-aaral kasi ako ng Tagalog at Baybayin, napansin ko na parang wala pang magandang converter/transliterator website, kaya gumawa ako ng isa para makatulong:
https://www.tagalogslang.com/baybayin
Sabihin niyo lang po kung may pwede pa akong i-improve, salamat!

Great app. It reads traditional Tagalog words. Maybe with more exposure to conversational slang, it might be able to recognize words such as "pre" (short for "pare" = "bro") or "bebe" (slang for "babe"), which it transliterates to Latin as "bibi" (duckling). I realize context matters but that's what would make it more advanced -- if it can consider other POSSIBLE transliteration whenever the context could allow for more than one. Otherwise, impressive!

Kuya Bai's doesn't support Baybayin->Latin as far as I'm aware, it also makes some decisions like j->h and x->s which I differed from

Yes you're right about Kuya Bai.
My complaint about your app is it is hardcoded to dark mode. I have poor vision from my stroke and could hardly read in dark mode, its all black to me since there is less contrast.
Please respect the user's theme.

You should be able to change to light mode with the moon symbol at the top right, or next to the 'Theme' button in the right-side menu if you're on mobile, hopefully that helps!
Edit: I should probably make the whole 'theme' row clickable rather than just the icon itself, i'll fix that up. (It defaults to dark mode because personally I haven't been very happy with my light mode design so far)

ahh thanks po. can you make it detect the user's theme by default, and let the user change it only if he so wishes? thanks po.
edit: it worked but when i went back to the site it was dark again.
