That's awesomely useless, it straddles the line between programming and art.

I am sure it was a great and fun learning experience.

Well done !

This is one of those things that pushes the boundaries to nowhere, yet everywhere at the same time whilst being incredibly awesome and something you can show off ad infinitum. Outstanding! Not sure how we’ll implement vdi now! Gives ghost in the shell a whole new meaning.

But can it run doom?

This could be used on build machines I own where I occasionally need to interact with the desktop and/or browser on the machine and vnc or other desktop sharing is impractical or exposes security issues.

I remember the carbonyl project to run chromium in the terminal that got me really excited (https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl) but it eventually became unmaintained.

This is pretty much that but supercharged. Definitely really cool to see. Good work!

This is such a cool project. Personally, I think there are so many interesting use cases that can be built on top of Wayland, like https://github.com/udevbe/greenfield and this

This is pretty cool, I can see this being useful when I need to run a one-off remotely. Not sure about attaching a running program then detaching again, or mirroring... I wouldn't mind being able to SSH to my desktop and manipulate say the running Discord client, or similar.

Another similar thing that I'd been meaning to look into is the RDP remote apps stuff.

Wow. I love this! I actually have a specific, esoteric use for this: VSCode on iPad

Hopefully supports iPadOS one day.

I wish you success in further development, don't stop!

insane ! but i still wonder for the use case ^^

Stupid, love it. Occasionally I'll use shaderglass ascii shader on oled screen to play videos with pixel ratio that makes UI unreadable, but it's charming experience.

- Can you run a compositor inside a compositor? I'd love to just ssh to a server and run hyprland

- doesTerm.everything run inside tmux with automatic window resizing? I guess not, but it would be cool

You could use a terminal graphics protocol to render real graphics. But there is already waypipe¹ to do that kind of remoting. Without using an actual terminal.

Super cool! I also really am glad you added videos and examples in your github repo its nice to get an overview

Do I need to be using wayland to try this? I'm still on x11.

Wow. This is amazing. I have started running a lot of stuff in containers by default for a whole host of reasons, and this may make my workflow even better on the occasions when I want to run a graphical app.

It is funny but this is what I wished things did when I first started using Linux back in the day. '98-'99 timeframe, then I "learned" better that there was Xorg/X11,etc.

I remember seeing something similar named Carbonyl a while back. What a coincidence lol.

P.S. This is very cool btw.

This is one of those things I'm going to keep in my back pocket for a very specific time I need it for a weird reason.

I love it.

Neat! I did a similar project many years ago just to see if I could with ANSI color stuff to animate video in my terminal. Worked really well, but it looked like absolute butt (unlike this project).

Nicely done!

Can it run Doom?

This is so cool, thanks for sharing! Having this on a Mac would be great but I understand that this might be a huge undertaking :)

This will be very useful when it exits beta.

I was about to asked about X11, but ended up learning about Wayland.

Thanks for sharing!

This is absolutely unhinged and I love everything about it

"I feel like every single day I hear about another terminal file viewer. I say, stop making terminal file viewers because you can just use the file viewer you already have! In your terminal!" LMAO

This is an incredibly cool project and you should be proud for building it.

Wow this is incredible

Outstanding project! Keep it up. If it ever gets renamed, consider - Terminal.All, T.All, or TAll.

Combine this with desktop-tui[1] and say goodbye to graphical desktop managers forever!

Love it :)

Love it!

Great job! If you tug on this thread long and hard enough, you develop this enough and you get RDP (which you can try via xrdp, GNOME's remoting thing, etc.).

The reason the terminal ecosystem doesn't get much more sophisticated over time isn't just the herd-of-cats fragmentation, but also evaporative cooling: people who do really cool things with terminal come to realize that what they really want is remote desktop (perhaps rootless) and leave terminal stuff as-is while they invest in more sophisticated systems instead.
