Nice! I am wondering, how compatible ZI would be, as it would give developers huge freedom. Technically it should work, however it may require some adjustments. I would help ti make i happen. πŸ§™β€β€β™€οΈ πŸ’«

Hi, I went through the installation, it looks possible. But I quite didnt understand its real use.

It can install anything from anythere, and setup terminal (Zsh) whatever you like it is not framework specific and can do same as all other plugin managers all together. Yoy can as β€˜tiny OS’ or as package manager for your system it limited to Zsh scripting language capabilities and Zsh is very powerful scripting language specifically for interactive usage. Alsi it will update, measure, test, compare or whatever whatever you will set it todo, like setting up 50 different themes/prompts which enables automatically based in conditions like: current location , OS or whatever other varable you set. Reading Wiki would give better idea. However I am unsure how compatible it is with Windows, also has fixes related ti other shell language (more in wiki) and Zsh pretty well emulates them as far as I tried. Hope Gave an Idea ;)
