Recently found out about ouch. Found it really useful for decompressing files in the terminal as I can’t seem to remember all the flags for tar, gzip, zip, rar and all the rest one may encounter which all seem to use different syntax.
Link returns “This site can’t be reachedThe webpage at files.catbox.moe/8g7agm.mp4 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.”.
It seems to be working for me.
Do you have a github or codeberg link?
I didn’t think anyone would have interest in it so i haven’t uploaded it. After new year’s I could clean it up a bit and host it on github.
Maybe we should add it to awesome-lemmy?.
I think it may be e a bit too early for that. At the current state it supports dynamic fetching of the feed in the background (quite buggy), paginating and displaying long posts and displaying top level comments only. At the current state it’s quite enough for me to enjoy a few (more like a few dozen) posts, but definitely not anywhere close to “awesome”.
I went with chafa as it’s terminal agnostic and supports various modes.
Then again, I’m not really sure a tui frontend needs high quality image rendering. Earlier I even considered going completely 1bit braille or just ASCII just so that the image doesn’t take all of the focus at the expense of the post body.
As mentioned by another commenter, I believe opening the full image in an external viewer is a much better solution, not to mention easier to implement.
There is one named neonmodem overdrive but it is buggy.
It really is buggy, iirc I couldn’t even get it to run properly.
It also support discourse forums any plan for this?
I really don’t have any plans (or even a name) for the app, as I’ve just started playing around with pythorhead yesterday. I just hoped posting a prototype or a proof of concept might spark a discussion and maybe inspire someone much more competent than me.
Thank you, that’s so kind! I’ll probably try to tackle the comments first as they come quite messy from the api, then I’ll probably give the images a go.
To be honest, I’m hoping this project doesn’t get out of my league too quickly as a have almost no experience with working with apis.
While complex tuis are definitely not my cup of tea (I prefer cli tools to be simple, otherwise I would probably use a proper gui), I’m really happy that I’m not the only one wishing for a way to access lemmy from the terminal.
Well, it does harm creators, as they may get less money. The same goes for adblockers.
Then again I don’t really understand why would you care about being “shamed”, especially by a company that charges money for a frontend using YouTube’s (extremely expensive) servers for free.
