I'm not seeing any icons (on ios, tried a few browsers). Is the font (or svgs? Not at a computer to check how it's built) being served?

Hi again. I have the same issue in my browser, and locally in nvim.

NerdFonts (and the right terminal emulator) were needed, and enough, there. Playing with AstroNvim, and blocked by use of yakuake.

Hoping that I can hot load something from https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads, I'm not sure what from https://fonts.google.com/ has the needed ligatures or symbols.

Execution is incredible, and the idea is far from bad, but I must I say that it is certainly hilarious. Giving serious “we’ve figured out a way to more durably connect microservices!” energy.

Ngl, I see a non-zero chance of this kind of aesthetic catching on for nerdy blogs, which tends to proliferate to the wider web eventually. If nothing else, I love some support for those of us who spend all day reading (stylized) Markdown syntax!

OMG that's awesome. I've been meaning to goof around with TUI CSS [1] but this looks amazing. Props to the author.

Maybe it's because I cut my teeth on 80s Turbo Pascal but there's something about the TUI that I feel hits an optimum in the simplicity vs use of visual space spectrum so, so lost in a world of Vulkan etc.
