&lt;p&gt;This was unexpected, but I should have seen it coming.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Near the end of the previous November, I made an announcement on social media. I was going to start working on a new word processor for Psion&amp;rsquo;s 16-bit portable machines. I&amp;rsquo;d been working on Psion-related projects since September 2018, focusing on the SIBO/EPOC16 platform. Writing a replacement for Psion Word was one of the first ideas I&amp;rsquo;d had. So, as I&amp;rsquo;d spent the latter half of 2023 bouncing between projects and never quite settling, I decided that now was the time. It was to be called Vine, a nod to both the codename of the Psion Siena and the Vi-like bindings I was hoping to include in its feature set.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
