Building

Compile with Nim v1.6.10+ (needed for proper OpenSSL 3 support):

# Build main file (flags already in nim.cfg file)
cd src/
nim c saved_searcher_for_reddit.nim

(use choosenim to upgrade Nim if you already have it installed)

TODO

• GUI app with search bar and image-previews and stuff (in other branch)
• Fix Reddit-API permissions so app can work for other users
• Make binary releases for different platforms so users don't have to compile from source (don't forget to compile with -d:release!)
