Wow bro, this is amazing! I’m also a fan of writing raw WinAPI code in C — and seeing a fast, no-dependency, single-exe utility like this in 2025 feels like a breath of fresh air. I especially love how snub avoids indexing and gives full control — feels like grep meets Windows-native power.

I starred the repo instantly — and if you’re ever curious, I’m also working on a terminal-based image viewer written in C for retro and embedded use cases. But honestly, snub is super clean and deserves way more attention!

Respect from a fellow low-level dev FerkiHN

Hey, really appreciate that. means a lot coming from someone else in the raw C/WinAPI trenches. Just checked out phono too; super cool concept, I love seeing C used in unexpected spaces like that. Definitely gonna take a look at it properly today. Respect right back, Ferki. glad snub landed with you.
