I like spectre.console and wanted to be able to use it in powershell scripts so I built this module.

This looks amazing. I’ve been looking for a way to write cross-platform shell scripts with “OK-tier” UI.

That must have been a lot of work! I can’t wait to try it out. (I am currently away from a computer to try it out.)

I have never tried to install PowerShell modules in NixOS before. I hope it’s kind of straightforward.

Thanks. I haven't used nix myself so I'm not sure... If you have the powershell nix package installed you should be able to use Install-Module like in any other environment.
