What a cool project. Without any knowledge on the mentioned datasets: how generic is the approach you used for building the voxel world? Can this be applied to other cities as well?

Does this bring us a step closer to a fully virtual Minecraft world?!

Same here, FF on Linux notebook with only an iGPU on an intel ultra 7.

I think that there's just a big chasm between average GUI users and terminal avid folk. The mental user map of how to operate software differs so much between GUI/TUI. Enabling pointer integration helps close this gap, but at the same time acts against the motivation of terminal apps (namely pointer-less interaction).

Personally I really like the work and effort that flows into ratatui and it's ecosystem. I've invested a lot of my time recently in creating multiple TUIs/CLIs, if you're interested in exploring a bit:

- Jupyter notebook TUI: https://github.com/samox73/jotter

- Github/pandoc Markdown with LaTeX renderer: https://github.com/samox73/visomd

- Recolor pictures constraining to a certain color palette: https://github.com/samox73/paletteer

Hi bootvis. I recently had the same struggle as you while working with markdown files that contain LaTeX. Cool to see this QoL plugin for Neovim. I imagine in Neovim it's not possible to show rasterized images, so displaying LaTeX directly in a Neovim buffer wouldn't be possible, right?

Shameless self-plug: that's actually why I decided to build a markdown CLI with latex capability and a pager feature myself https://github.com/samox73/visomd

Would be interesting to see if this is also possible in Neovim

Nice project. What's the selling point over claude-code with mods? Pressing ctrl-g in claude already brings you to your $EDITOR and there are already a bunch of latex mods, e.g. https://mods.aidojo.si/mods/samox73--claude-code-latex--tex-.... I can see that the vim mode has some nice use cases. I imagine navigation is a lot easier? E.g. I really miss the ability to configure a shortcut to go to the prev/next prompt in claude-code.
