taanegl,

He’s a mad man, a mad man!

But cool! Any hopes for image and video support?

wim,

Have you considered supporting Sixel for images?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixel

wiki_me,

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.”.

Do you have a github or codeberg link?

Maybe we should add it to awesome-lemmy?.

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”.

Truck_kun,

I would not recommend working on two GUI’s at once, but if you build it in a way you can use different frameworks for it, the maker of Rich also makes a nice TUI framework API called Textual.

Here’s some projects made with it for a sample of what it’s usage can look like: https://www.textualize.io/projects/

I believe it does not use curses at all.

Finally a Lemmy client for Linux mobile

That made me laugh so hard. Are there really no clients for linux mobiles?

Secret300,

There wasn’t a few months back when I checked

isotope,

Looks good! You might want to join forces with github.com/LunaticHacker/lemmy-terminal-viewer

djtech,

For rendering high quality images in the terminal, check out the Kitty graphical protocol. I don’t know if they are any python libraries to use, but I think that they are. P.S. This seems to work well stackoverflow.com/…/how-to-display-graphical-imag…

does this protocol work for other terminals? such as alacritty, foot, urxvt, or even st (with appropriate patch ofc)?

djtech,

A quick research tells me that there aren’t patches for other emulators, but the protocol seems well described, so making those patches is possible. I could also take a look at Alacritty source code and deicide if I could make this project work.

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.

You could also look into using sixel. It’s kinda like the kitty protocol but older and terminal agnostic.

Thanks, I’ve only heard of sixel, but never really read into it. Sounds promising.

kariboka,

A suggestion is do it like neofetch and let the user choose. Amazing work.

MonkderZweite, (edited )

There’s TIV/FIM/imgfb if you’re looking for ways to render images in terminal. Or convert them to sixel.

MonkderZweite,

One reason more to stop with the silly text-in-image posts. There’s a text-only post option, you know guys? Lemmy is not Instagram.

noctisatrae,

I’m too working on a TUI to browse the-eye.eu, I’m still struggling with asynchronous render & Rust.

crunchpaste,
@crunchpaste@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Async programming is really quite hard to wrap your head around. Currently I’m mostly struggling with excessive memory consumption.

noctisatrae, (edited )

Send help I’m struggling with lifetimes, unbounded channel & implementing EventHandler… <3

There is one named neonmodem overdrive but it is buggy. It also support discourse forums any plan for this?

It really is buggy, iirc I couldn’t even get it to run properly.

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.

How did you upload a video?

crunchpaste,
@crunchpaste@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Uploaded it to catbox.moe and then just pasted the link in the url field when creating the post. Hope that helps :)

I love this. Anything that keeps me in the terminal and out of the browser is a blessing from Tux himself.

mesamunefire,

Something like rtv would be great!

LainOfTheWired,
@LainOfTheWired@lemy.lol avatar

That looks epic!

Please add the ability to view images with an external image viewer as I find a lot of social TUI apps seem to lack that.

Add that and you’re making my ideal Lemmy client

crunchpaste,
@crunchpaste@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

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.

You might look into displaying images in the terminal as well; many modern terminals support showing actual images natively
