Next up in the todo for Chai is getting it working on Windows (which will basically involve finding the right dependencies and maybe branching within the bash glue for their different paths from the Windows dimensions haha! :)).

I was particularly proud of the hex viewer part. I just felt it was not complete without really being able to see the byte by byte playout of a file.

Obviously there are some file size limitations (but the hex viewer is streaming, so should work for any size the underlying system can handle), and therefore optimally efficient.

Oh, and it also should handle archives just fine, as in, you can open {zip,tar.gz,... etc ...} archives and inspect them "file viewer" style.

Somehow I just felt this kind of capability (remote viewing files, from a safe and secure distance) was absolutely necessary for a remote browser.

I often think of these things like a "glovebox"^0
