★★★★★ Visakh Venugopal · May 20, 2026

★★★★★ Muhammad Rahimi · Nov 30, 2021
Handy tool when net cat on termux isn't working
★★★★☆ Aron Cullberg · Mar 13, 2025
It autoscrolls to the top when new messages come in (at the bottom) otherwise it works as expected. Edit: I have changed my score from 2 to 4 since the bug I encountered seems to be nonreproducable. I will take the time to attempt to try to figure out the cause and then come back and update this later.
★☆☆☆☆ Aditya Developer · Feb 25, 2021
Wrong syntax error even I write as shown
