  • Qubes Tricks

    Very interesting! I was thinking literally yesterday about a TUI/GUI Qubes type concept, maybe also applicable for industrial type data diodes.
  • I made a tool to generate ANSI escape codes, so you can easily add colors to your scripts.

    I did something like that once. Is your project online somewhere? I'm always curious what else is going on. :)
  • Jexer 1.6.0 release - Java advanced TUI framework
    1 project | /r/java | 5 Feb 2022
    When I transliterated from D to Java around 2015, Java wasn't quite the "uninteresting" language it is perceived to be today. But all along I had hoped others might pick up some tricks, and put some notes on porting it here. Yet Java's been a pretty solid workhorse for me, and having the Swing GUI to test on was a godsend actually once I got into images.
  • Show HN: Java TUI framework with sixel image support
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 3 Feb 2022
    If you code in Java, and like TUI (console type applications), then you might enjoy Jexer: https://gitlab.com/klamonte/jexer

    I started Jexer in 2013, and off-and-on it's gotten better. I think my favorite part has been crossing paths with other terminal emulator ecosystem folks over the last few years. This release brings a few prettified effects inspired by other projects that you are all hopefully quite familiar with (notcurses, chafa, and vtm):

    * Translucent windows, including images under/over each other and text.

    * Animated/pulsing text

    * Animated gifs

    * A new XtermVideoPlayer example that uses ffmpeg/JavaCV to play movies inside a text-draggable window. (No audio though.)

    * New button styles: round, diamond, left/right arrows. The button ends and shadows are drawn with images so specific font support is not required.

    * A _much_ faster and _much_ higher quality sixel encoder.

    * Different window border styles: single, double, none, and rounded corners.

    * A femme theme option.

    Some screenshots are posted here: https://twitter.com/AutumnMeowMeow/status/148922891703050240...

    It's on maven and Sourceforge.

        
  • Released 1.6 of my hobby project - advanced TUI framework
    1 project | /r/transprogrammer | 3 Feb 2022
    If you code in Java, and like TUI (console type applications), and enjoy transfemme in-jokes, then you might also enjoy jexer.
  • So did y'all know that SyncTERM 1.1 has sixel support? That's so cool!
    2 projects | /r/bbs | 1 Feb 2022
    A path that started in the BBS era and is currently bringing DOOM to Xterm. And ironically, there is much better support for this now than there ever was for RIPscript.
  • I'm working on a commandline app that plays videos, any feedback is welcome
    6 projects | /r/commandline | 1 Feb 2022
    Story time: when I first posted Jexer to Reddit, people were all "twin does that". No, it does not. twin does not pass vttest. twin has almost no widgets. twin does not support images at all, it does not multiplex images, it does not multihead images, and it does not play videos (a bit too slowly but still) in a text draggable/resizable window that could be part of a larger system. mpv/mplayer doesn't do those things either. In fact, the only two projects I know of that can do these kinds of tricks are Jexer and notcurses. (And notcurses is hella faster and great, and I would have used it in 2013 when I started Jexer, but it didn't exist then.)
  • Terminal Technical Resources

    One way to do translucent windows. - Inspired by notcurses
  • Why are kitty and alacritty so popular? Where's the foot love?
    8 projects | /r/linux | 29 Jan 2022
    foot is great, dnkl is great. It's so far the fastest sixel-supporting terminal I've got to test XtermDOOM on. (I run iTerm2-based images against wezterm.)
  • Display images in the terminal
    5 projects | /r/Python | 29 Jan 2022
    It parses them, but then reduces to the 8/16 ANSI colors. Which makes translucent TUI windows not work. :(
