I just see this as an experiment to see if the system can survive without the bloat. If we need the bloat, the next person can just put it all back in. It's only 4 years.

This is my side hobby, a server side TUI protocol with a light browser like client that can navigate any TUI.
The primitives are good enough to build anything you want. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to make better libs and tooling for creators (mainly myself) so I can crank out lots of examples apps that showcase the power of TUIs where you don't need a dedicated executable for each one.

I've been saying this in jest for years.
KMS is a money printing racket for AWS. It only really helps you if someone walks out of a data center with your hard drive. For everything else the attackers are just going to get your IAM creds which have open access to all your keys.

I fully agree. I made a TUI client/server framework loosely modeled around the concepts of CSS/HTML. One of my core design decisions was keyboard only input.

That's because askhistorians only let's other historians ask questions. I've tried asking some serious questions there before and I always got immediately deleted. IIRC it was always something about how the quality of my question was beneath them.

I will never buy a GM until they stop turning their reverse lights on when they're not reversing. This one small feature has wreaked immeasurable havoc on parking lots across the world.

It seems to only mess it up on mobile. Desktop Chrome seems fine. Mobile Chrome is all I've tested on.

I use ASCIIFlow all the time. I still haven't figured out how to get browsers to render the monospace fonts correctly see example diagram on this page: http://uggly.bytester.net/#how-it-works

Yeah, I'm known as the ASCII diagram guy at work because I use ASCIIFlow a lot. Still not sure if people think I'm a joke.

Yeah, I built a TUI framework for fun. I was playing with making a TUI browser where everything is rendered server side like html and streamed over grpc.

I first came across Gemini after making my own HTTP alternative TUI-over-the-wire protocol (uggly)[1].
Gemini has the same motives as I had when I started, but I didn't switch to it for all the same criticisms that are mentioned in the article (e.g. TOFU, no visualization support, no stream/data support, no cookies for login support, etc).
I'm really glad to see that the desire for a simpler protocol is still going strong though.

I love anything TUI related. I spent a lot of time last year making a TUI-over-the-wire protocol with a TUI browser.
It's somewhat related to this because it's generating a TUI dynamically based on an input schema coming over the wire via gRPC.
Would love any feedback http://uggly.bytester.net

Not exactly what you're looking for but to solve a similar problem I've been working on a TUI-over-the-wire protocol.
