I was expecting to see PowerPlant with C++, given Codewarrior, or even better MacApp with Object Pascal being used.

Very cool, congrats on the release. Looks fantastic, wish I had a G4 to test it on!

I've just added it to the Web Browser Directory (Corrections and additions welcome)

Hey everyone! This is my project, I've been working really hard (yes using AI to help) for about two months straight now. I am not just letting it be, I am going to keep tooling with it every day to make it better and better. The latest version uses real, third-party verified, TLS 1.3 so I am pushing all the limits that I can. Thanks for sharing!

Always surprising but fun to see a "MPLS" MN state flag graphic in some random github readme. Then I see the username "mplsllc" :) Hello neighbor!

Yep! Main website is mp.ls so I went pretty hard in on it. Howdy neighbor.
