💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

retawq is an interactive, multi-threaded network client (that's a web browser, bestie 🕸️) for text terminals on computers with Unix-like operating systems. it's written in C, it's fast, it's small, it's nicely configurable, and it's comfortable — like, genuinely. e.g. the low-level network communications are performed in a non-blocking way (no waiting around, main character energy only 💅), and you can keep open as many "virtual windows" as you want and work simultaneously in two of them in a split-screen mode. obsessed. 🪟🪟

the most recent version of retawq is available on the project home page <http://retawq.sourceforge.net/> 🎀
