@allison @kirby @kirby @p @lanodan Text buffers and hyperlinks being the main interface protocol is a branch of evolution that I wish could've made it further. Like, it's probably the strongest link between the xerox, the lisp machine, the oberon, the acme way of doing things and it works damn well cause it's so easy to design for. Engelbart did it Emacs still does it. Terry fucking Davis did it. I guess it was doomed to fail cause it makes sense to a hacker but not to a normie that just wants pictures to drag around and icons to gawk at, and HTTP kind of sank expectations for what it could be used for.
