Will McGuganI've been working on streaming Markdown documents in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Textual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Textual</a>, which is a challenge to be sure!It's working remarkably well now, and very performant. Even zooming out to a ridiculous extent as you can see in the video.Also made the tables prettier, and in the process enabled text selection within the tables.

Will McGuganAdded a little more polish...<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Python</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Textual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Textual</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a>

Will McGuganThe day before treason day (jk) is a terrible time to announce anything, so consider this a teaser.I've spend the last two afternoons hacking on an experimental terminal UI for a AI coding agent called Toad 🐸Will be posting more soon. Follow me if you aren't already!Here's a video of it in action:Note that this is a real app, but the AI interaction are mocked. WDYT? Should I make this real?<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuVRs7e1BqM&ab_channel=WillMcGugan" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuVRs7e1BqM&ab_channel=WillMcGugan</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Python</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Textual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Textual</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a>

mr_daemonOh no, for some reason I started making a stupid modal TUI for my nice little tool that does reporting on updates, and now I can't stop.DO I EVEN NEED THIS AT THIS POINT? I have a super nice interactive prompt that does pretty tables and data display, but I can't stop.<a href="https://untrusted.website/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Python</a> <a href="https://untrusted.website/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a> <a href="https://untrusted.website/tags/textual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#textual</a>

Will McGuganI've released Ganglion. A web server which can publish any number of Textual apps. 🦾This is good example of a high performance Python async application. Worth a peruse of the code, even if you aren't a Textual dev.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Textual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Textual</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Python</a><a href="https://github.com/textualize/textual-ganglion" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/textualize/textual-ganglion</a>

Paul McGuire<a href="https://social.jvns.ca/@b0rk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@b0rk</a> Terminal emulators are much more now than just ANSI sequence interpreters, and now include mouse-event handling, enabling TUI programs with mouse support for scrolling, scrollbars, selection, etc. For those of us who thought that ANSI escape sequences for colorizing output and defining scroll regions were the ultimate terminal hack 40 years ago, these modern TUI's are amazing!

TipaWorking on rewriting the character creation for Sword for Hire. The main adventure depends on the Curses termcap library, but there's no reason for the character creation and town map to be limited like that. This uses the Textual UI package, which tries to emulate a web page in ASCII. <a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/TunnelsAndTrolls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TunnelsAndTrolls</a> <a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/Textual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Textual</a> <a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/SwordForHire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SwordForHire</a>

Darren BurnsWhat is this?

BongoknightOnce again, I just love Textual.
