Chromium running inside your terminal

Project mention: Show HN: Consol3 – A 3D engine in the terminal that executes on the CPU | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-23

supports WebGL over SSH/MoSH
https://www.brow.sh/docs/introduction/ :
> The terminal client updates and renders in realtime so that, for instance, you can watch videos. It uses the UTF-8 half-block trick () to get 2 colours from every character cell, thus simulating basic graphics.
https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl :
> Carbonyl originally started as html2svg and is now the runtime behind it.
Always wondered how brew.sh added the brew sprite there; that's real nice.
TIL that e.g. Kitty term can basically framebuffer modified Chrome?
https://github.com/chase/awrit :
> Yep, actual Chromium being rendered in your favorite terminal that supports the Kitty terminal graphics protocol.
FWIW Cloudflare has clientless Remote Browser Isolation that also splits the browser at the rendering engine.
A TUI Manim renderer would be neat. Re: Teaching math with Manim and interactive 3d: https://github.com/bernhard-42/jupyter-cadquery/issues/99
What would you add to make it easier to teach with this entirely CPU + software rendering codebase?
What prompts for learning would you suggest?
- Pixar in a Box, Wikipedia history of CG industry: https://westurner.github.io/hnlog/#comment-36265807
- "Rotate a wireframe cube or the camera perspective with just 2d pixels to paint to; And then rotate the cube about a point other than the origin, and then move the camera while the cube is rotating"
- OTOH, ManimML, Yellowbrick, and the ThreeJS Wave/Particle simulator might be neat with a slow terminal framebuffer too
