alt Hacker NewsI just get a headache tbh
why?
it is effectively a keyboard driven GUI. you potentially get the full power of the commandline to do your actions without giving up a graphical view of your system.
i wrote in my own comment that i want to go even further and integrate a full terminal: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47801068
ttyphoon on the other hand is a terminal project that approaches this from the other side, getting even more graphics and structured data support into the terminal: https://github.com/lmorg/ttyphoon
both have a similar goal: get away from the old limitations that terminals have but keep the power they offer.
Just quickly, because I have to leave:
I actually do somewhat like the paradigm, from a user perspective. If done well, why not, could be cool... If done very well, it could be very very cool...
But please let's not invent these new kinds of applications based on terminal tech. I still don't see why one would go this pointless detour, instead of just start as a graphical application, tech-wise.
