Landing page: talking points drawn from the zine

A new alternative, "Meet a network with no list and no landlord",
carries seven feature cards lifted from the redoal repo's zine and
intro-video script: the drawing-as-address trick, no middleman,
voices at a place, signatures not names, the twenty-four-word
manifest language, the no-reading entry requirement, and the honest
status. The landing description opens with the cold-open line, and
/shape gains a card on what a place holds in the full network.

Nothing here overclaims: every card describes something the redoal
repo ships and tests, and the last one says what doesn't yet.

+  redoal is a gesture-addressed network — a small network that works
+  without the things you think a network needs. Draw a line and it
+  becomes an address: not a username, not a dot-com, the drawing
+  itself. Similar drawings land near each other, and everything else
+  follows from that. Draw one below and see who's near.
