Ballast is a graphical Nightfall Express client written using egui.
It is very basic, but it does work. I've even successfully used Ballast to further develop Ballast, as opposed to loading a mirror of Nightfall Express pages in a browser.
Right now, text files and directories are displayed. Back and forward, cancel, and return to home are also implemented.
Download, Find Text, and possibly Gopher support will come later.
git clone https://github.com/cr1901/ballastcargo install --path .- The installed binary is called
nex-ballast, as ballast is already taken.
For the moment, I do not provide a crates.io nor binaries.
Nightfall Express has a train theme. Ballast forms one small- but important part- of a railroad :). I hope it is useful to others.
With that being said, this is a purely for-fun project. Expect me to take months before I come back to it.
