I doubt that ewellic will become more popular than IPA
No one suggested that it would. IPA, of course, is not a script.
What is strange is that the author says he could use it with handwritten script. This requires handwriting skills (possibly artistic drawing skills) that very few people have or need to communicate.
A billion Chinese manage with those Han thingies.
Ewellic may be considered as a (incomplete) cipher of IPA, except for digits where it is a cipher of European digits.
