Show HN: Chawan TUI web browser 0.2.0
mpv: https://mpv.io/
Fbida sometimes need the -d option pointing to /dev/drm/something, when using screen or tmux. MPV required for years -vo=drm on the TTY but since some months it always works. Nice improvement :)

How I Built a TUI Without Leaving the Terminal
The biggest challenge I faced was getting some sort of way to play music. So I picked the easiest routeβI directly implemented it with mpv and I channeled logs of mpv (which had timestamps, which I needed) to a log file under the .sparklines folder, and managed it with a socket (a two-way communication endpoint to handle the custom commands). With the power of NodeJS, I made it work out and somehow it turned out a lot better than expected. Also, configuration files can be accessed at .sparklines/config.

I'd like to take a moment to speak to you about the Adobe PSD format
Xee's PSD rant is quite mild tho, as these things go. An other classic[0] is MPV's locales rant in which the frustration is a lot less constrained: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/1e70e82baa9193f6f02...
[0] keeping to focus being technical rather than the ranting, otherwise you have to go for Eric Naggum's XML rant: https://harmful.cat-v.org/software/xml/s-exp_vs_XML

Carefully but Purposefully Oxidising Ubuntu
I mentioned this on reddit, but AFAIK, the uutils project doesn't yet support locales: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/3997
I'm not any more a fan of POSIX locales than the next person[1], but AIUI, that seems a likely requirement for uutils to be used in a distro like Ubuntu.
I'd be curious how they plan to address this. At least from my perspective, unless uutils has already been designed to account for locales from the start (I don't know if it has), it seems likely that a significant investment of time will be required to add support for it.
