SOFTWARE
If you are a member of colorfield.space and have created
software that you would like to see here, please email
sloum@sdf.org (include your username for colorfield.space).
In general, the goal of the software developed here so far
has been to provide simple and direct tools that provide a
consistent and easy to understand user experience.
Gopher clients:
___________________________________________________________
(HTM) BOMBADILLO
Bombadillo is a gopher client for the terminal. It is
built as a 'full screen' terminal program program with vim
style keybindings/commands, paging/scrolling, bookmarks, and
user configuration options. It supports gopher, gemini, finger
and, as opt-in options, telnet & http.

(HTM) STUBB
Stubb is a gopher client written for Colorfield Space.
With Stubb users can view textual gopher content, save
favorites, open tabs, save files, etc. Stubb was written
in Lua and is quick and has a low memory overhead.
Chat clients:
___________________________________________________________
(HTM) COLORCHAT
Colorchat is a curses based chat client. It is the main
chat client in use at colorfield.space. It is fairly
basic and really just does one thing: live chat. It also
has a counter for how long ago the last message was sent.

(HTM) GAB
Gab is the other chat client in use on the server. It
functions as a shell script that tails the chat log or
adds a message to it (depending on your flag). This
provides a simple interface to check in on new messages
without having to stop other tasks to sit in a chat
window.
System utlilities & Communication tools:
___________________________________________________________
Colorsh is the main user shell found at colorfield.space.
It was developed to provide a simple shell experience for
users of any computing background. As such, many common
BASH commands are available, as are many custom programs
developed just for the system. Beyond the basic REPL,
COLORSH is a collection of small programs, mostly built
in Python, Bash, and Awk.
COLORSH is not currently available via a code repository.
If you are interested in the software, please e-mail
sloum@sdf.org and you will be sent the source. Once it
gets to a more mature point, it will be available here.

(HTM) CHALK
Chalk is a line/row based text editor built specifically
for use on colorfield.space, as a part of COLORSH. It was
then split off as a standalone application. Chalk was
strongly influenced by the editor built for and in use at:
(DIR) The Red Consensus
Chalk takes on the basic style of The Red Consensus' editor
and extends its functionality to include inserting,
deleting, and editing lines. It also features C style
readline capabilities, allowing for moving around the row
and moving through history. Chalk can open existing text
files, as well as create new ones.

(HTM) CSPC
Cspc (or "c space") is the server's message board.
It allows for creation of topics, posts, and replies.
Providing standard message board features and using
a stripped down version of chalk, as the editor.

LINKULATOR
Linkulator is a link agregator for the terminal. It
has a similar feel to hacker news where users can
post links and users can comment on those links. It
is a great way to share links with other users as well
as serve as a sort of global bookmark repository for
the server. Linkulator is a shell script created by
user cmccabe. A link to linkulator will be added here
as soon as one is available.
