I’m not sure this is the right community.

I’ve been hoping for a TUI frontend for Lemmy for a while, but unfortunately none came out and I’ve decided to build a proof of concept on my own.

It’s written in python with pythorhead, blessed and chafa.py and it’s quite janky.

    One reason more to stop with the silly text-in-image posts. There’s a text-only post option, you know guys? Lemmy is not Instagram.

    That looks epic!

    Please add the ability to view images with an external image viewer as I find a lot of social TUI apps seem to lack that.

    Add that and you’re making my ideal Lemmy client

      There is one named neonmodem overdrive but it is buggy.

      It really is buggy, iirc I couldn’t even get it to run properly.

      It also support discourse forums any plan for this?

      I really don’t have any plans (or even a name) for the app, as I’ve just started playing around with pythorhead yesterday. I just hoped posting a prototype or a proof of concept might spark a discussion and maybe inspire someone much more competent than me.

    He’s a mad man, a mad man!

    But cool! Any hopes for image and video support?
