Here's my second #MARCHintosh project for 2026 - TalkCrawler Lite! A little program to keep track of which #GlobalTalk printers and shares you've visited or left a greeting on!
I rushed this one out so I can get to using it, so it's less polished than Chat, and might not work so hot on 68k Macs. I'm not sure why opening files is so damn slow.
Demo video in the first reply. Available on Blackbird or landisk on the BaroNet share.
When I say I rushed it… The file creation date on TalkCrawler.c is Mar 4, 11 PM, and I posted the release toot on Mar 8, 10 PM. And on the weekdays I had work!
I planned to release it yesterday so today I could leisurely work on a print/calling card & have fun browsing #GlobalTalk, but stayed up until 2 AM trying to nail down a memory corruption bug and just gave up.
Adding another day worked out well because I had the time to add this animation, making it all worth it!
@kalleboo This is great! So much nicer to work with an app than a plain text file :)
(BTW, sending you my newly ImageWriter-optimized print now, please let me know if it comes through okay!)
