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.

    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

      Thank you, that’s so kind! I’ll probably try to tackle the comments first as they come quite messy from the api, then I’ll probably give the images a go.

      To be honest, I’m hoping this project doesn’t get out of my league too quickly as a have almost no experience with working with apis.

        You might look into displaying images in the terminal as well; many modern terminals support showing actual images natively
