Commy, a serial monitor

Showcase

Commy, a barebones serial monitor (ala minicom, screen, miniterm.py).
Tested on Mac and Linux, might have a go at Windows if I can figure it out.

I normally use GNU Screen for monitoring serial connections, but it’s a poor fit and I don’t like telling non-technical people on Macs about how to workaround screen’s oddness (how to exit, detached state, etc).

Commy is a big improvement because it says in the top corner how to exit.

Builds on the great work of GitHub - ZigEmbeddedGroup/serial: Serial port configuration library for Zig

Update:

It now (mostly) works in Windows. Being able to easily build static binaries for a range of systems feels like a superpower.
