Tachikoma.jl is a pure-Julia framework for building rich, interactive terminal applications. It uses an Elm-inspired Model/update!/view architecture with a 60fps event loop, double-buffered rendering, 30+ composable widgets, and built-in recording/export. GitHub: github.com/kahliburke/Tachikoma.jl …

[image] DoktorMike: That’s a super useful app you built there. Yeah, props to @langestefan for building this. This is exactly what I want Tachi to enable: the ability to create convenient and powerful TUIs, so you don’t have to weigh choices about whether or not to build a more full featured …

Added another function for something I often struggle with, setting compat ranges by hand: [image] I will stop hijacking this thread now, just wanted to showcase how cool Tachikoma.jl is :slight_smile:

This is such a cool project. This feels like a real natural fit for Julia, and a highlight for the language :slight_smile:

I mentioned this in [ANN] Sessions.jl, A terminal-native Julia notebook built on Pluto.jl's reactive engine and Tachikoma.jl - #18 by goerz , but it likely is a problem with the underlying Tachikoma (which I haven’t tried in isolation): The (presumably forced) dark background in all of the screenshot…

[image] goerz: The (presumably forced) dark background in all of the screenshots here is an absolute no-go for me. Hey there, that reflects my own biases. But I’d like it to fit your preferences as well. There is a GitHub issue which I’d appreciate someone on the light side :wink: to contribu…

[image] goerz: Please respect a user’s settings regarding their fundamental color scheme, and whether they are using light-on-dark or dark-on-light Just for the record, I’m totally fine if you were to submit a PR that was 100% generated using LLM based coding assistants. I will have my agent …

[image] kahliburke: I’m totally fine if you were to submit a PR that was 100% generated using LLM based coding assistants. … It would be super cool if you had your agent write a bunch of unit tests too, I think there are over 4k such tests in the framework now. That’s the sort of attitude t…

[image] Mikhail_Kagalenko: That’s the sort of attitude that, among other things, strongly motivates me to avoid having anything to do with LLM-coded software. Hey, no offense taken. I encourage everyone to have the freedom to choose the code that they incorporate into their projects, the way…
