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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

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.

The computer measures how your line curves, turns, and keeps
|
||||
rhythm, and boils it down to a twenty-byte fingerprint.
|
||||
Similar drawings get similar fingerprints — two spirals land
|
||||
like two houses on the same street, a zigzag on another
|
||||
street entirely. The fingerprint even draws itself back:
|
||||
a lo-fi sketch of the shape, with zero network calls.

On the internet you know, finding anyone goes through a
|

middleman who keeps the list of names and remembers that
|

you asked. Here your machine asks the machines around it,
|
||||
"has anyone been near this shape?" Nothing is registered
|

anywhere, with anyone.

A drawing is a place, and places hold voices. Listen to the

recordings people left at a gesture, leave your own on top,

and if someone stands at the same drawing right now, just

talk — live, machine to machine, no company carrying the

words.

Every recording and every stored stroke is sealed with a

that the same hand made the same things. Delete the key and

Teaching these machines a new behaviour takes a language of

exactly twenty-four keywords. "When a voice starts, keep what
|
||||
you hear; when it stops, leave it at this drawing" is about
|
||||
240 bytes on the wire — and the language has no word for
|
||||
reading your files or phoning home. You don't have to trust
|
||||
the author; you can check the dictionary.

No accounts, no servers, no feed, and almost no text: the

primitives are the drawn line and the human voice. A child,

an elder, or a newcomer who doesn't read the local script is
|

in on the same terms as everyone else — if you can draw and
|

you can speak, you're in.
