NIB

I made Nib after 3 months of being stuck within a perpetual motion machine of alternating ghostty themes.

Jvscholz fanboy that I am, I wanted a color scheme that bore the look of deep blue-black fountain pen ink on cool paper (peppered with with moss, sepia and graphite tones).

Stupidly, I assumed this would take me at most an afternoon.

3 months later, I think I can finally confidently say Nib's v1 complete.

Check it out and let me know your thoughts!
