Hey, author here! It’s just for fun :). I think I went too hard on the satire and people thought it was something other than a good time, but it’s just a good time.

I’d wager it’s just a bit of fun. Which is amongst the best reasons to do anything.

I think the main value is buried in the page, and that is it can also render in the terminal, so it’s sort of React for TUI apps? And they built OpenCode with it?

But then why make console.log your main selling point?

Used to think of building something like this for my frontend framework as a way to display help files. Didn't get to it though and nowadays, the point is moot with AI producing most of the code. Less of a need for framework -help.

those are my favorite apps

The marketing site is entirely satire :). But the framework works and there’s lots of resources to guide you along if you want to render an app in the console.

Wait for real? Should be lots of them!

Someone did! With webcontainers or something, but I can’t find the tweet now

Hahaha

> But why?

Autism is a hell of a drug

Im guessing so, given any stdout is ≈ console.log
