A native client plus drop-in utility for adding a telnet like experience to an application using http4s.

This project depends on a couple of snapshots at the moment.

For native polling runtime - typelevel/fs2#3240

F.A.Q.

Where did the name 'Whisker' come from?

The initial thought for a basic name was Web-Socket Console. Abbreviated as WSC, it looks like it could be read as "Whisk". Since it's being build on top of Cats-Effect and cats have whiskers, I decided to call this project Whisker.
