I know how FT8 works (I've studied Joe's papers and researched the principles) and I would have no intention of making anything else work like FT8 does.  It's simply too restrictive, particularly for contesting.  But the signal processing behind FT8 is applicable to several different communication formats.  If you really knew how FT8 works you'd understand that.

You better read how FT-8 works and compare

Wrong.  FT8 has nothing to do with CW, but the signal processing behind
it could be used to significantly enhance CW.  Think RTTY with MUCH
better S/N and an audible output instead of text on the screen.

That communication technique has nothing in common with CW at all!

The signal processing techniques utilized in FT8 could have been used to
enhance the signal-to-noise of normal CW in a way that would have been
virtually transparent to the operator
