From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've started building a TUI for Lemmy (files.catbox.moe)

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
