Might https://surge.sh help?

Chiming in to agree. I like how you can customize certain characters (like `*' being at the top or in the middle of text, `g' being one or two stories, `0' having a slash or dot).

> Functions like memcpy or malloc cannot legally be written in C without breaking this behavior

Sorry, I don't understand this. Does this mean that these C standard library functions cannot be written in C without breaking the ISO C standard?

When pushing signed commits, the GitHub web interface doesn't reliably update with the new commits. Anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: Actually, it may just be commits in general. Usually the interface receives updates fairly quickly.

I think GitHub wanted an option to express "I don't understand this," and decided :confused: was a better fit. Which makes sense, because :thinking_face: could mean "I'm considering this" or "Interesting point," which is not, I think, what that option is meant to convey.
Nitpick: The bus is more dangerous because it has more momentum (m • v), not necessarily more force.

Thanks for making a great app.

Where's the place I can report issues in the beta version? I noticed a small graphical issue with the cursor when using a certain font.

Well… you can still work with Git when the server is down. Just not GitHub.
