   > The Telegram/Fido project is notable. It presents fido messages in a chat   
   style, but the whole system works very smoothly.   
      
   That is very cool.     
      
      
   > I have joined your system to try it. Seems to work well. Inline editing and   
   quoting is doable. But would prefer the ability to have a larger font and   
   maybe standard black for the font instead of the paler offering. Even a dark   
   mode with white font would be nice.   
      
   I've added a font and size setting for reading the message body and made the   
   color black. It was too straining.  Also changed the way the echomail lists   
   were displayed to make it more intuitive.   
      
      
   > I also notice that although an original netmail seemed to get sent to a z2   
   address ok, a R)eply from your system to a z2 message did not work.   
      
      
   Okay I'll see if I can find that problem.

   > 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.     
      
   > Looking forward to see significant improvements with mypoint! Good work.   
      
      
   Thanks and for testing!  I was really interested in the protocol level for   
   automating posts but when I saw Claude write up a nearly usable web interface   
   I was pretty blown away.   
      
   Still uncovering more things needing improvement but considering it's largely   
   ai written code, I'm pretty impressed with the outcome.   
      
   Cheers
