    Hello Matthew!

    ** On Thursday 28.08.25 - 20:08, you wrote to me:

    The mypoint interface seems better than the sbbs one IMHO.
    There is only one other adaptive/mobile interface that I
    recall was well done, but I can't remember the name of the
    system now. Something like rocksolid bbs I think. The font
    and colour choice used there is excellent. The message
    threads were easy to follow and navigate.

    Sadly the BBS I found by that name seems to be offline.

    I dug up some old echomails where I mentioned it. It was the
    one operated by the fellow behind rocksolidbbs.com

    It had a pretty good webby solution too. It was styled
    differently than echicken's webv4 for sbbs systems. Rocksolid's
    solution incoporated a message S)earch, and offered taking a
    peek at viewing the header info (kludges), and presented a
    pretty good threading pre-view. I really like the threading-
    at-a-glance feature. It was even doable on my 3x3" Blackberry
    screen! The colour choices for background and text were
    practically perfect.


    Still uncovering more things needing improvement but
    considering it's largely ai written code, I'm pretty
    impressed with the outcome.

    The AI written part scares me.
