a toki pona derivative or maybe just a small language

Tinkerers Anonymous: Some people can't help making changes to "fix" Toki Pona. This is a playground for their ideas.

Just another small language. Some similarities in vocab, but those are inevitable. Some rather markedly different items, too. Grammar rather more complex (subordinate clauses) .
Interesting to compare vocabs, especially meaning beyond basic one (possible ways for tp to go).
