+Neon Modem Overdrive
+--------------------
+
+[*Neon Modem Overdrive*][neonmodem] is a BBS-like command line client that 
+supports [Discourse][discourse], [Lemmy][lemmy], [Lobsters][lobsters] and 
+[Hacker News][hackernews] as backends and seamlessly integrates all of them into 
+a streamlined TUI. And yes, you heard that right, I really called it *Neon Modem 
+Overdrive*.
+
+*Neon Modem* is built in Go, using [Charm's Bubbletea][bubbletea] TUI framework, 
+but implements an own *window manager* (or *compositor* if you want) that allows 
+it to use a third dimension, on top of the two dimensional rendering that 
+Bubbletea offers today. With that it is possible to display dialogs on top of 
+one another, in order to offer a smoother UI experience.
