Check out https://geminiprotocol.net/. They have clients available, and even some content!

I've worked on this project for over 12 years (https://breckyunits.com/treeNotation.html). If this is a scam, I'm really bad at scams!

First the first time ever, people are now giving me money for it, which will give us the funds to expand the project to realize its potential.

Have you tried `wws fetch pldb`?
