Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

"<ESC>[31M"? ANSI Terminal security in 2023 and finding 10 CVEs
If you really want crazy, run `xterm -ti 340`, then run run an X server from the xserver-sixel repository <https://github.com/saitoha/xserver-SIXEL> in it. Now y ou can run as many terminal emulators, complete with real truetype fonts and all the colors you could want, inside the one terminal. Use a tiling window manager and you’ll be able to avoid using tmux entirely.

Blink virtual machine now supports running GUI programs
There's a X with sixel support: https://github.com/saitoha/xserver-sixel
I played with this before, and I could use X11 within a mlterm terminal.
I should try to recompile it with cosmopolitan to have a single X server binary both for Windows and Linux

If one GUI's not enough for your SPARC workstation, try four
What you do is run `xterm -ti vt340`. If your xterm was compiled with SIXEL support, this will enable it. (You can test it by running something simple like `gnuplot -e "set terminal sixelgd; set key bmargin center horizontal; plot [-5pi:5pi] [-5:5] real(tan(x)/atan(x)), 1/x"`.)
Now run Xsixel (from <https://github.com/saitoha/xserver-sixel>) to run an X server that outputs to sixel graphics. In that X server you can run any program you would like, and its graphical output will be converted to sixels, printed to stdout, given to xterm, and then xterm will draw them.
Job done!
See <https://saitoha.github.io/libsixel/> for more information and tools, along with lots of screenshots.

GUI in terminal
There's a version of X for these terminals: https://github.com/saitoha/xserver-sixel

Hi! I made simple TUI desktop for Linux named TBox
You could probably do something like run X on Sixel for terminals that support Sixel.

Show HN: Sixel-tmux displays graphics even if your terminal has no Sixel support
> unfortunately it's way too slow to get anywhere near 'realtime' output (30fps or better).
That's not due to sixels. Check out the sixel nyan cat: https://github.com/hackerb9/sixvid
Look at the FPS indicator in the bottom. It was pointed to me in https://github.com/microsoft/Terminal/issues/448#issuecommen...
The issue may be in your code.
I think I have similar performance issues, as the glyph selection process could be more optimized.
Derasterized is mostly Jart work (who is best known here for her work on Cosmopolitan), we were mostly interested in quality.
Reducing the set of glyph to something that could benefit from optimizations could help.
> I really wish there was a decent pixel-framebuffer standard for terminals (with at least the same performance as ncurses)
Sixel performance is quite decent: personally, I can play videos in my terminal.
Try MPV on mintty: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/2183
I have also played with a X server rendering over sixel, no performance issue: https://github.com/saitoha/xserver-SIXEL
When sixel support is added to Windows Terminal, I may update it, because it would be fun to have one tab to run stuff!

Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones?
There is https://github.com/directvt/vtm
It used to have a site where you could just connect via ssh and see interact with it in all its glory.

Ask HN: Best computer that can't run a modern browser
Any computer at all, just about any linux distro, boot into console mode, and then run something like this
https://github.com/netxs-group/vtm
- Is there a way to have a full TUI desktop environment?
-
Use terminal multiplexer for local pc?
vtm might be handy.

help me compile a program please
~~~ $ wget https://github.com/netxs-group/vtm/releases/latest/download/vtm_linux_amd64.tar.gz $ tar xvf vtm_linux_amd64.tar.gz $ vtm_linux_amd64/vtm ~~~

What's the most beautifully designed TUI-app you've used?
Does a 'TUI' based window manager count? (on linux) This program let me have numerous terminal windows and do a lot of other neat tricks with the terminals. I think it was VTM https://github.com/netxs-group/vtm
- Fun terminal programs GO!

mprocs 0.2.2 - TUI for running multiple processes in terminal
Could be useful for fun projects like vtm.

After years on Linux, I just discovered Vim & TMUX. They're fucking amazing.
For absolute revelation, use vtm, a whole Desktop environment for the terminal. In addition to tiling (like tmux) it supports floating window management.
What are some alternatives?
sixel-tmux - sixel-tmux is a fork of tmux, with just one goal: having the most reliable support of graphics
pytermgui - Python TUI framework with mouse support, modular widget system, customizable and rapid terminal markup language and more!
libsixel - A SIXEL encoder/decoder implementation derived from kmiya's sixel (https://github.com/saitoha/sixel).
tmux - tmux source code
libsixel - A C language SIXEL encoder/decoder implementation, forked from saitoha/libsixel after @saitoha vanished. Receives security patches, accepts PR's filed preferably here but also at saitoha/libsixel.
