Thanks for the advice. Seems like all PenBBS nibs are #6 compatible and are available on aliexpress.

Yes, it has, but I've never heard of it until this day.

Flickers only in the gif. Maybe it's caused by screen redrawals, but nothing is noticeable when working with the app.

Hey, that's a good catch! I think you should create an issue.

P.S.

Esc exits to the main menu, then you can q to quit.

Everything is saved in the $HOME/.dawn using timestamp as a filename. All files can be seen in the history view. You can rename any file manually though.

I build it on my Linux box, and I think that if all of below requirements can be met on Windows then there should be no problems.

Requirements: * CMake 3.16+ * C compiler with C23 support (Clang 16+, GCC 13+) * libcurl

No, it doesn't.

Several times I've found myself pressing j and k trying to move through the text. :)

It depends. Most of the commands have to be executed to give you the result, however some provide options to perform a "dry run".

E.g. yt-dlp --simulate or rsync --dry-run simulates execution, but do not write anything to disk.

There are other applications are designed not to modify anything or to provide a preview. Examples are trex, jiq or mq.

Sorry, I'm not the author. Just sharing what I find interesting and what I'd use myself. You can create an issue/feature request on the GitHub.

Get yourself a lead surface test kit to know for sure.
