rcalixte··on Ncdu: An Updated Fork
> I don't have accounts on Lobste.rs, and I thought it would be sort-of rude to ask this on Github Issues, so I'm asking here... sorry if it bothers you

Sorry if this came off poorly. You documented most of the differences here: https://code.blicky.net/yorhel/ncdu/issues/279

Ultimately, I won't make some of the same decisions regarding the build system and a few other changes. I feel like we have a small community of folks who cared actively about this project so I think having alternative options is a good thing! I have some ideas that might make building easier but I am also not keen on adding an external dependency unless it is strictly required but I don't think I'll be making substantial changes to the build system otherwise.

rcalixte··on Ncdu: An Updated Fork
This project carries significance for me, not only as a learning resource but also for future projects which is why I've forked and will aim to maintain it for the foreseeable future. I'm still getting familiar with the codebase beyond what was required to update it so any potential issues will be handled on a best-effort basis. I didn't see any actionable issues in the issue tracker but that doesn't mean there aren't things that can be implemented or improved upon. I aim to implement some form of CI/CD at some point as well.
