I love that it's Nim but not having a screenshot is a major put off for me

@devoid I think that's an issue with sr.ht. Sometimes it loaded the project pic (screenshot of it in action) and other times it didn't.

@drh3xx No problem what so ever, just type gmake. However, you do need to edit the first line in Chawan's Makefile so the build script will invoke your new 2.2 binary. As to new nim version in 7.7, I tried on my snapshot box, it's still 1.6.

The perceived lack of screenshot was likely my oversight. I was looking at the page with dark mode on. Oops

The Chawan http browser โ€” Check out the Chawan http browser on sr.ht! It is a terminal browser that supports CSS! sites look much better than what you will get from say lynx. I think it is an ideal http viewer for offpunk and other command line gemini browsers. Chawan is written in nim and builds ok on OpenBSD, I need to install gmake and compile nim 2.2 out of nim 1.6 from package.
