    A fancy BitTorrent client for the terminal

    • The custom font adds a number of glyphs which wouldn't otherwise be accessible. Specifically for the folder icon [1] and I'd have thought for the borders as well.

    Nerd Font is pretty cool, I'd give it a go - I don't know how terminals gracefully fallback if the glyphs don't exist.

    ☄🌌️ The minimal, blazing-fast, and infinitely customizable prompt for any shell!

    • The font isn't strictly required – Mabel functions just fine without it, you will just have one or two characters that don't render properly.

    I suppose we could make Nerd Fonts opt-in via the config, but I don't think it's that unusual an ask. See: https://starship.rs
