A simple web browser I had checked out in 2009, but as of 2018-03-05 I’m told it’s been abandoned.
2016-12-15 – It seems this project has been abandoned and perhaps the entire author is gone.

https://tuomov.iki.fi/software/ [ 1 ] was http://modeemi.cs.tut.fi/~tuomov/ion/
A keyboard-oriented window manager.
Clunky in places, and some things were non-obvious and needed some reading.
My hands hurt after using it for a little while, because the default hotkeys are Wrong. Heck, the defaults aren’t just “not for me”, the defaults are bad. Because of poor documentation, it’s too much work for me to figure out how to customize it the way I want.
Abandoned – No longer under development, forked into notion
