# wcswidth as a service

Terminals don't know how wide characters really are :disappointed::disappointed::disappointed::

wcswidth-as-a-service to the rescue :smile::smile::smile:! Simply GET a path to obtain its width:

```sh

> curl http://wcwidth.xiaq.me/Hello

5

> curl http://wcwidth.xiaq.me/こんいちは

10

> curl http://wcwidth.xiaq.me/蛤蛤

4

> curl http://wcwidth.xiaq.me/🌚

2

```

What to do next:

- [ ] Replace `wcswidth` implementations in glibc, Cairo, vim, libvte and tmux with a dead-simple HTTP GET

- [ ] ... Profit!
