    Hello All,

    https://maximusng-bbs.github.io/maximus/

    "Maximus NG (Next Generation) is a modernized fork that preserves the soul of the original while bringing it into the present ƒ€” modern C17, TOML-based configuration, semantic theme colors, TLS support, and a local terminal backend with proper UTF-8/CP437 rendering."

    "...builds on Linux, FreeBSD, and macOS (including Apple Silicon)..."

    i did not hear about this project, but sounds very interesting, it uses TOML instead of the usual ctl files, have some nice new features. let me know if you tried it.
