Now that it's no longer possible to rank in web searches, unless you're a content farm or a major publisher, it's a good time to ditch SEO, drop keywords, use descriptive headlines instead of catchy or clickbait ones, and write for humans. SEO won't help anyway, so let's help the readers who care.

I'm having too much fun exploring NoteCards, the hypermedia system of Medley Interlisp. It provides a rich hypertext environment and tools as well as an extensive, easy to use Interlisp API.

This is a good introduction:

Medley Interlisp has experimental support for VNC on Linux via TigerVNC. As the screenshot shows, a 1080p Medley desktop can now completely fill the screen of my 1080p monitor with no window borders, black bands, or other Linux user interface elements.

It's now available the paper of the Medley talk Andrew Sengul gave at the European Lisp Symposium 2024. It outlines the history of Interlisp, introduces the Medley revival project, and presents the main features and facilities of the environment.

This series of posts by @sjl is a true gem worth bookmarking. It describes a CHIP-8 emulator in Common Lisp whose techniques are applicable to other systems.

But the series is also a Lisp software design resource in disguise, as it presents a Domain-Specific Language for concisely and clearly describing machine architectures and instruction sets.

One year ago these days a spaceship with the sign Medley Interlisp on the hull landed in my backyard. I cautiously climbed inside and...

Now I'm a crewmember, I can fly the ship a bit and peek behind a few panels, and I'm having lots of fun.

Julio Merino dived back into some decades old text mode editors and IDEs, particularly Borland's which were the pinnacle of this technology.

The influential hypermedia system NoteCards, which provided inspiration to other such systems in the 1980s and later. Here it is running in the cloud under Medley Interlisp in an online session on my Chromebox.
