zcho

building

zig build

the z executable is now in zig-cache/bin/z

TODO

• support building just one tool with like zig build -Dtool=zcho or something

tools

z spinner

has a few options, see z spinner --help

z progress

has a few options, see z progress --help

z jsonexplorer

zig targets | z jsonexplorer

Issues:

• fix the memory leak (more likely just use an arena allocator for init allocations)
• fix when scrolling down off the bottom of the screen with things open like v\n v\n - item make it work correctly
• support displaying very long strings that go off the screen (do it like firefox probably, make them collapsable)

z echo

it's like echo but written in zig and it has a few more options

zig build -Drelease-fast outputs the binary zig-cache/bin/zcho

zcho -p $(tput setaf 1)
→ \x1b[31m

zcho -e "\x1b[31mHi!"
→ Hi! (in red)
