http://www.fluxbox.org/
A light window manager. Based on Blackbox. Not bad, but not as good as Blackbox. I liked Openbox more than this.
Blackbox has been obsoleted six ways from Sunday. See versus Blackbox.

was rubyforge.org/projects/vwmclient
was vwmclient.rubyforge.org
A cross-platform native Ruby language GTK 2.x MU* (Telnet) client written by Mario Steele. It has been released under the LGPL license.
While not yet in a stable form, its goals will be to create a client:server model which allows for client-side processing of scriptlets.
- Abandoned. It seems to have just vanished.

This program is no longer maintained, but it’s the only worthy (slim and sensible) X file manager I could find.
thunar might be a challenger, except that sfm lets me very quickly use an alternate app.

Note that there are a couple of file managers named “SFM” or “Simple File Manager”.

A HTML / website editor.
In the early days I did things by hand (like most people) and this was likely my first program which helped in any way.

Astoninshly-capable. I loved this program so much. It introduced me to music and especially introduced me to good code on Linux.

was dillo.org
A lightweight web browser.
I thought it had hope but needed significant work.

2022-07-12 – Apparently abandoned
- The website is down
- the source code archive as of 202201280 shows the last activity at 2021-02-09. It was a small change and the update previous to that was 2018-10-05.
- The mailing list archive doesn’t tell me enough because it’s an old snapshot.
TODO – add patch notes

http://links.twibright.com/
A fast, open source, cross-platform Web browser based on the Links web browser.
Where Lynx is the standard console web browser for most Linux distributions and is complete shit, Links is fucking awesome.
I had used this for some time but abandoned it for a while. I’ll try it again eventually.
