Any particular reason for that? Are you using specific Linux APIs?
Just to clarify, this looks like a super helpful utility, something that I would personally use. The issue is that I noticed the installation instructions include a link to a prebuilt binary hosted on your website. Without providing access to the source code, you're asking users to trust executing an unknown binary on their system.
As for Linux API - TIOCGWINSZ via syscall.IOCTL to get terminal dimensions.
Why Linux and Go - Linux is the only OS I use. I like Go because it produces a single static binary with no runtime dependencies. Thanks for your interest.

So what's the "less easy" way that people can build it from the instructions, if there's no source code?
I've tried searching for the comment but without any luck, if anyone have a suggestion for the name, I would be grateful.
- They "no longer use Github" but their Github account was only created on March 1st.
- Their blog domain was registered on March 1st according to whois.
- They have sixteen (!!) blog posts dated March 10th.
- This is the kind of project you could vibe code: "read the ffmpeg manual and convert all of its flags into a TUI." No shade on the value of the project, just that it's a good one for LLMs.
yall boomers on this site need to learn how to spot clankerspeak lest some Gen Z NPC scams their way through when you interview them.
Build instructions are in the article.
