26th October

Well I wanted to do more with Haiku, and I wanted to write soem code, so the
two things came together and I started working on a Gopher client for Haiku.
Written against the Be/Haiku native API, it's the first time I've touched C++
properly in a long time, and it does show. That said, it's actually in a state
where it can be used, the only "major" feature missing is a back button, which
is kinda necessary to be able to navigate. Hopefully that'll be going in this
week other commitments permitting.

There are of course lots of other major features to build, but none stop you
from being able to actively browse some holes. One thing I'm keen to get built
after the back button is support for binary downloads, because that means I'll
then be in a position to host builds here on my own hole, and new updates will
thus be available through Gopher itself, which feels rather satisfying.

Development is open, and it's happening on Codeberg. More to come!
