this guy is loving nuts. multiple emulators written and re-written just for development and then wrote a new kernel for the project from scratch

my Palm Treo in 2006 was way more functional as a task manager than anything even paid options for 2023 iOS

e: also the palmOS dope wars was pretty good

I don't think I've ever touched a palm device. My tv uses webOS but don't think that counts.

palmos internally was a mess by the time the end rolled around. The networking in particular was apparently god awful.

I absolutely loved it as a user, and while i think replicating something like it starting from a modern context would be a great idea, I dont really understand why this dude is doing what he's doing.

it is weird how webos was kind of good when it was some nonsense "lets just start over" attempt, where palmos needed a windows 95 effort to just easily dominate the smartphone.

admittedly i don't think there has ever been a replication of windows 95 for just dragging a much more primitive platform into the future with minimal consumer pain.

i have a soft spot for sailfish

but webos was so good at the time, i feel like a number of concepts it introduced are fairly common today

Beeftweeter: Jun 28, 2005; a medium-format picture of beeftweeter staring silently at the camera, a quizzical expression on his face

sailfish was cool too but webos actually had a chance to become a major platform and hp deliberately blew it

the card metaphor was great, and the synergy thing they had that handled things like contacts, image hosts, social media shares and things like that as pluggable services was loving fantastic.

telepathy was the messaging/social/telephony framework under all the nokia linux devices, webos phones, kde today, and at one point gnome desktop.
