"sitelen leko lili"

each of the blocks are called "leko"
a few other small things:
⠹⠧⠽ palisa - the line at the bottom of 'sitelen' is to combine 'site' and 'len' into a single word; it should be at the end of the syllable (one down if prev leko ends on 'n'). it can also just be a dot in between leko.
also note that the full syllable 'len' is a leko instead of just 'sitele' 'n'
⠝⠮ suno (optional for readability) - a dot on central top of leko means they start in vowels.
⠐⠨⠱⠆ open - Names start with a leko in a T shape, 1px down
⠡⠦ pini - sentences & Names end with a leko of a centered 2 px line, 2 px down

pros (reasons to use!)
follows pona philosophy of simplicity
already supported fonts w/ braile, plus that makes it accessible for blind
tiny: 2 leko fit in 8x8px
looks cool and futuristic arguably
could make keyboard with 10 keys which i'd like to see
cons (stuff to fix)
not physically writable> could prob changed for a written version "⠥⠲⠷⠆ ⠷⠬ ⠟⠼"...here's a start: handwritten braile (but doesnt have all characters)
may confuse alignment of characters
> tried to fix with ⠐ (suno) but what do u think? (⠐⠠⠴ vs ⠤⠆)
everything being dots is confusing?
> i think after some time we get used to shapes of words or sentences?
someone has to make software to write in it
any more u can think of?

"sitelen leko nasa"
another random idea i had idk if anyone thought of:
since tokipona has under 256 words u could make a (probably illegable/very difficult to learn) "logographic" script thats just 8 pixels, numbered in binary in some order of the words (probably creation date so it's easy to add new words)
this can be represented by 8 dot braile ... so someone else can make that bc i dont feel like it :p
