Good conversations.
One terminal away.

Liner notes brings the spirit of the bulletin board back to life. Read, reply, exchange files, and stay a little longer.

Made for terminals. Built for people.

01 / THE BULLETIN BOARD, REVISITED

A place to leave
more than a message.

A terminal-based BBS written in C, designed for FreeBSD, with build and installation guidance for Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux. Inspired by the rhythm of classic BBS communities, Liner notes brings discussions, private mail, chat, and file sharing together.

01 / DISCUSS

Follow the conversation.

HyperNotes-style reply trees, boards, unread tracking, and article search keep each discussion connected.

02 / CONNECT

Make it personal.

Member-to-member mail with private attachments, chat rooms, and private talk put people at the center.

03 / EXCHANGE

Keep good things moving.

A file vault and ZMODEM transfers bring a familiar terminal workflow to shared files.

04 / MAKE IT YOURS

Your terminal. Your pace.

Japanese and English menus and help, paging, and display settings let you settle into your own reading rhythm.

02 / INSIDE THE TERMINAL

A familiar kind of welcome.

Keyboard first. Conversation always. Take a look at the menu in a local test session after signing in.
