What script are you guys using? Also, I searched up the title and it mentioned Somaliweyn. Is this in reference to Siad Barre's policy?

Look at the calligraphy that awaits the users of osmanya

I was curious about their names so I looked it up. @𐒁𐒚𐒒𐒂𐒘𐒂𐒗 𐒎𐒚𐒗𐒗𐒒 = buntite queen (which I knew cuz a lot of people used it on here) and @𐒋𐒖𐒆𐒔𐒖𐒕𐒈 = cadhays.

Kind of ironic for one of the most polite users on here to have that as his name

It looks like it has been seen to it. It is actually very simple to learn, just needs a bit of a practice.

Here is the online keyboard

Somali Keyboard - Osmanya Alphabet - LEXILOGOS

Postscript:
My late uncle was an enthusiast, used to write poetry (his and others mostly of the Daraawiish) in Osmaniya, took notes, and left books and magazines written in it, some with his children in Egypt, and some at our family home in London.

I also had the pleasure of meeting the late Xirsi Magan, one of its last custodians, when its keyboard was being created, and I think Indiana university funded a project towards it.
