# meownet 😺 an awesome web server that meows at you ## okay some more detail i originally built this in c using `winsock2`. why? because i wanted to learn sockets! and my windows machine was the closest subject at the time. now this runs the regular linux socket API by default (i left the old windows-specific code in `src/windows.c` if you want to use that!) **Q:** is it very good? **A:** no! but i had fun making it, so idrc a fun little foire into getting even more familiar with how web services work. how fun!! ### building oh yeah you can compile this with `gcc` and a little ```sh # linux/macos (untested on macos) gcc -o ./meow ./src/main.c ``` ```powershell # windows gcc -o ./meow.exe ./src/windows.c -lws2_32 ```
