Hi, I'm Ben Kane! See mypersonal website and blog or browse through my projects (active and abandoned) here on GitHub :)

• PRs to projects I don't own (also seeIssues)
• Project star history
• Repos containing my username

Configs for apps I care about - see thezsh config especially :)

A tiny cross-platform cross-platform terminal color library that supports enabling and disabling colors.

A small single-binary CLI to grab images from Reddit - I've been surprised how much I enjoy seeing beautiful wallpapers when I lock/unlock my computer.
