Telzine

Telzine is a Telnet server that serves ezines (electronic magazines) written in text format. It parses a custom structure (documented and shown in examples) and uses Handlebars for templating. The server is written in Rust and supports asynchronous I/O.

It uses ANSI features that might not be ideal for some terminal emulators. Inspired by Cara's Dial-A-Zine

Features

• Serves ezines over Telnet protocol for that retro underground feel
• Parses a custom ezine structure with a touch of nostalgia
• Uses Handlebars for templating to add dynamic content easily
• Written in Rust for speed and safety, as an amaeture project
• Supports asynchronous I/O for scalability, because even the cutest retro things need to scale up
