I can highly recommend the 3D client especially because it works almost everywhere, hope it will be updated for 5.0.0 soon

I don't know... I played Nethack 30 years ago a lot and always felt all the graphical updates were not worth it. There's something when you can easily see the whole map in one screen. And that scary pink h appears suddenly...

Edit: but to be fair, I will try this 3d version.

Giving me Ultima VII / VIII vibes.

As someone whose first introduction to dungeon crawler was Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (with tiles), thank you! I just tried the 3D version and it runs very well.

By 3D I had supposed you meant 1st person. This seems as good as the other 2D graphics mods, fine if it's your thing. I've always preferred the chars.

Thanks for sharing this. I think this might be what gets me to finally give Nethack a fair shake.

Anywhwere, with NodeJS? If I wanted a GUI, I'll use Vulture's Eye and that's it.

Is it possible to access wizard mode on the web version? I suppose I could just clone it and run locally and implement it if not, but would be nice if it's already there to know how to trigger it.
