Show HN: The Unix Magic poster, annotated (updated)
github.com/drioThis is a site that maps the references on Gary Overacre's 1980s UNIX Magic poster to short write-ups with sources. I posted an earlier version about a year ago [1]. Since then I rewrote some of the annotations, added deep-linking to individual markers and a frame/sidebar view, gave the site a terminal-style redesign, and fixed historical inaccuracies (daemon etymology, nroff origin, B language vs. Multics, etc.).
Contributions and comments welcome; each marker is a GitHub issue.

We have some possible new markers, please head over the github repo -- I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Good Stuff. I wasnt aware of the other 2 posters at all.
Me neither. It is fascinating to see the progress from those to the final version. I wish I could speak to the author to learn a bit more about his creative process.
Very nice. Learned about `banner`. It'd be nice if zooming the page also zoomed the poster itself.
Are there plans to annotate the other two posters?
Not at the moment. Do you see a lot of references in the other ones?
Don't leave us hanging, do the other two!
