What Hacker News says

Suckless inspired my naming of sxi: https://github.com/serprex/sxi & dwm served as the base from which I learnt to create nobox: https://github.com/serprex/nobox Good stuff. Though seeing dwm have a null-check-before-free made me squirm. Have been using st for awhile now, it's nice, bit of a hassle to get backspace working & I sometimes miss being able to scroll back over console output The only-one-file philosophy seemed to be a bit of a hassle where st had to turn down a wayland patch. One would think that it could be split into st-common.c, st-x11.c, & st-wl.c where the rendering backend is abstracted stalin is neat but I personally feel using git to distribute binaries suboptimal. I'd prefer if there was a /build directory where one could git clone submodules & run a /build/install.sh to update the system. But that'd be something else

by then I suppose & I haven't looked into it _that_ much to really critique surf seems like a cop out using webkit
