I’m not sure this is the right community.
I’ve been hoping for a TUI frontend for Lemmy for a while, but unfortunately none came out and I’ve decided to build a proof of concept on my own.
It’s written in python with pythorhead, blessed and chafa.py and it’s quite janky.
I love this. Anything that keeps me in the terminal and out of the browser is a blessing from Tux himself.
Have you considered supporting Sixel for images?
That looks epic!
Please add the ability to view images with an external image viewer as I find a lot of social TUI apps seem to lack that.
Add that and you’re making my ideal Lemmy client
Thank you, that’s so kind! I’ll probably try to tackle the comments first as they come quite messy from the api, then I’ll probably give the images a go.
To be honest, I’m hoping this project doesn’t get out of my league too quickly as a have almost no experience with working with apis.

Do you have a github or codeberg link?
Maybe we should add it to awesome-lemmy?.

It seems to be working for me.

I didn’t think anyone would have interest in it so i haven’t uploaded it. After new year’s I could clean it up a bit and host it on github.

I think it may be e a bit too early for that. At the current state it supports dynamic fetching of the feed in the background (quite buggy), paginating and displaying long posts and displaying top level comments only. At the current state it’s quite enough for me to enjoy a few (more like a few dozen) posts, but definitely not anywhere close to “awesome”.
There is one named neonmodem overdrive but it is buggy. It also support discourse forums any plan for this?

It really is buggy, iirc I couldn’t even get it to run properly.

I really don’t have any plans (or even a name) for the app, as I’ve just started playing around with pythorhead yesterday. I just hoped posting a prototype or a proof of concept might spark a discussion and maybe inspire someone much more competent than me.
