Description

CLI Tool
Show HN: Snub – A fast, lightweight file search CLI for Windows (written in C) built snub, a fast and lightweight recursive file search tool for Windows, written in modern C (C17). File Explorer and PowerShell often crawl on large codebases — so I wrote something that doesn’t.

snub is: - Fully multithreaded - Avoids indexing entirely - Supports globbing, size/date filters, result limiting, and JSON output - Packaged as a single small executable

No dependencies. Just raw C and the WinAPI.

Would love feedback on C idioms, WinAPI practices, or ideas for portability and better build flow.
