UNIX still trying to catch up with Xerox workstations in the REPL experience, or general Lisp machines for that matter.

Inline graphics from 1981,

That was a work of art. Also Oberon.

Emojis in a terminal are a step too far for me. This is just... Indulgent.

Seems... really good?!

Questions:

- rendering capabilities of this seem like it should also be able to handle 2d well, or am I mistaken? every solution I see for getting high quality 2d images or rasterization in terminal is all pretty bad. Could this do better than other solutions or is there a fundamental limit being hit somewhere?

- What happens with ssh given that this is gpu accelerated?

There are quite a few GPU powered terminal emulators around already.

Is that what you're looking for?

Terminal is slowly becoming a full featured web browser.

Always has been meme incoming. Also, more seriously, the purpose of a tool is to do a job. The question becomes whether this tool can be made useful. I.. honestly don't know, but I will be finding out soon:D

Rip Terry. May you never be forgotten.

edit: But your spirit lives on ( based on the project:D )

Can I really render a 3D rat on my terminal? If I can then I'm sold.

This is exactly what I thought as well.

IMO, next crazy step is for terminal to just have wayland or X11 protocol ? (/s or not?)

Dude, I spent the last week implementing Kitty Graphics and Clipboard protocols in ghostty-web in the Canvas render.

Then I added WebGL and WebGPU renderers [1], including support for Kitty.

Then I see this this project on a Monday morning... so now I have to implement Ratty Graphics Protocol?!?! [2]. Really fun project!

This looks a lot like it'd qualify for a ShowHN. Add "ShowHN: " to the beginning of the title and it should show up in /show
