In that case, I might dabble with offpunk, as it looks cool. Also see what kind of gems are on suckless.org, as those seem to be lightweight things I could enjoy in the cli. We have `ii` and another one on Ctrl-c, but I didn't use either even though I requested the admin add them to the server. I use Irssi locally for irc, love it.
The gem/gopher/https thing you have going I may take a pass on, as it seems a few steps away from the formalized, perfectly-tabbed, and noob-proof config file Irssi has to offer. Also, Lua? Isn't that a bottled water? ;) (kidding)
Sun is up here and though the new phone (and Fi that gets added to it) doesn't get here until Monday, this is the last day stuck on 2G Island, and I have 10gb of 5G tethering after midnight tonight with CricketWireless. I may get lucky and the Motorola arrive a day or two early, and the Fi SIM is sitting ready to go on my desk. So I should be in the fast/5G fastlane starting early AM and just keep everything humming along after that. Then offpunk, then tmux, then other things.
offpunk is super solid, but if I'm remembering correctly doesn't do http[s]. That's part of what motivated me to write my own. I don't like having to switch apps to read what is fundamentally The Same Kind Of Thing (i.e. bloggishness) just because different peeps can't settle on a delivery protocol.
The second part is that offpunk is written in Python, which is an abomination to me due to it constantly leading me to discovering I'm missing dependencies, trying to install those dependencies leading to further dependencies misery, and so on. Should I need to move onto another machine, I just want to bring my latest tar.gz of my stuff to it, gunzip and "tar -xvf" it, and be done, not suffer past installation indignities all over again.
FWIW, sliced bread cowers next to Lua. I mean, nothing is perfect, but I've only *one* beef with Lua, which is way less than with most (all?) other languages - especially Ingles.... ;-)
