-- "Raw" Clients --

The classic:
  requires netcat and torify
  torify netcat 7ks473deh6ggtwqsvbqdurepv5i6iblpbkx33b6cydon3ajph73sssad.onion 50000

The socat:
   requires socat and tor daemon (WHICH MUST BE RUNNING, if you use soystemd: `systemctl enable tor.service --now`)
   socat - SOCKS4A:127.0.0.1:7ks473deh6ggtwqsvbqdurepv5i6iblpbkx33b6cydon3ajph73sssad.onion:50000,socksport=9050

Extension for raw clients:
  You can attach rlwrap (readline, bundled seperately) to connect, it'll provide a better experience than going in raw.
  Consider using this if your messages ever get split.

-- CLI Clients --

moontalk.rb:

  Runs off of ruby, just werks. Uses readline.

  You'll need to install ruby to run it.
  See source code for usage, press enter in an empty prompt to see new messages.

moontalk-cli.c:

  partly functional, should just werk for normal chatting.
  Not as nice for editing text, full NCurses interface. Manual scrolling.

  To compile it, use bake <https://git.lain.church/emil/bake> or just run:
    gcc -O2 -std=gnu99 moontalk-cli.c -o moontalk-cli -lncurses -ltinfo

  Run -help for usage.

-- GUI Clients --

moontalk.tcl:

  Runs off of tcl/tk, just werks.

  you'll need tcl and tk to run it.
  Click the bottom bar to talk.
  Graceful about reconnections.

  Made by the OP.

moontalk.py:

  Pretty ergonomic, but works.

  Runs off of Python and Tkinter.
  The enter key does NOTHING!
