This has been my goto for personal toy projects for a while now. Trivial to slot in to basically anything that can display text and takes mouse input.

I will mention, however, it's kinda abandonware at this point. There is some bug with the draw call iterator which does a misaligned pointer access, which, if your environment is set up to catch that, can get annoying (Zig for example panics on it). There's a github issue that some have used as reason to fork it but all the forks I tried were subtly wrong, for what that's worth.

The whole thing's less than 2kLoCs. If it needs ongoing maintenance, something's gone wrong IMO.

I think it's reasonable to just patch it yourself if it doesn't work with your other tools (Zig). Though thank you for sharing the heads up.

Genuine question; abandonware or complete? Something of this size serves as a nice substrate or starting-point regardless.

[HumblyTossed]

Exactly. Software can be _done_.

And that's okay(tm).

> it's kinda abandonware at this point

That's sad. I'm a fan of rxi's work, including this one.

It's MIT and these days handing it off to Claude to tart it up as needed should be viable.
