ssh wiki

I've set up a basic ssh version of the nethackwiki for when I want to immerse myself in the terminal (which is most of the time). It fetches the latest wiki contents as well as the featured article periodically.

Let me know what you think:

ssh nethackwiki.top

Its a bit raw as of right now, but suggestions might change that. Also maybe someone wants to steal the idea for nethackwiki.org.

For ssh I use https://github.com/charmbracelet/wish and the viewer itself is c with curses. Claude was my friend as I do have a life (in the other terminal, which is running nethack).

I'm hoping in the future something like this should be integrated into nethack via the extended command #wiki, for a fully immersive dungeon exploration experience.

Not a terminal guy but gave it a quick try. Maybe some mild formatting stuff but I was using cmd.exe so not ideal tools for the job. Seems pretty solid at a first glance.

Thanks for trying it out!
I hope as many people as possible use it and let me know what they want fixed/improved.
I had some challenges parsing the tables in particular but one page at a time...

BTW you know you're playing nethack too much when your claude prompt begins "Please write a scroll that..."
