I built this project to learn Rust and experiment with Kitty’s graphics protocol. It’s still in an early stage of development, but it’s already functional and usable. I’d love any feedback or ideas for improvement!

Check out the project at https://github.com/ck-zhang/reddix

TUI Showcase A terminal tool that replays Git commits with animated diffs

846 Upvotes

I built gitlogue, a terminal tool that replays Git commits as animated diffs. It shows how files changed across real commit history in an editor style view, so you can watch a codebase evolve step by step.

Here are some common ways people use it:

  • Screensaver style ambient coding display for a workspace

  • Education and onboarding to visualize how code changed over time

  • Live presentations showing real commit flow

  • Content creation together with VHS or asciinema

  • Desktop ricing as a living visual element in the terminal

Terminal User Interface I made a fun little terminal app that shows the moon phase in ASCII art! 🌕

721 Upvotes

Just wanted to share ascii_moon, a TUI app I built in Rust. It's basically a moon phase viewer for your terminal, inspired by https://asciimoon.com. You can check different dates, toggle lunar features.

Repo: https://github.com/rockydd/ascii_moon

Usage

Interactive Mode

Run the application without arguments to launch the full-screen interactive TUI:

ascii_moon
  • the phase changes in real time

  • you can use left/right to go forward or backward by one day

  • n to go back to today

Non-Interactive (Print) Mode

For scripting or MOTD (Message of the Day) use, you can print the moon directly to the console. Use the --lines flag to specify the height of the output.

ascii_moon --lines 20

Fun TIL POSIX specifies a tool designed to assist you with generated code

666 Upvotes

Given all the low-quality LLM-generated projects flooding r/commandline, it's valuable to know that POSIX provides a tool to review and modify code generated by LLMs, so I thought I'd bring this tool to the attention of this subreddit's members. In typical Unix fashion, the POSIX folks shortened "reviewing & modifying" to just two letters:

$ rm code.rs

It even has command-line options to recursively fix whole project-directories of LLM-generated code:

$ rm -rf project/

Handle it wisely, and I hope to see more use of it around here!

Terminal User Interface Termium: a real Chromium browser in your terminal (Kitty graphics, sixel, Vimium, works over SSH)

584 Upvotes

I built Termium: it runs headless Chromium and draws pages in your terminal with the Kitty graphics protocol (Ghostty, Kitty, WezTerm), sixel (foot, xterm, Windows Terminal), or ASCII blocks as a fallback.

Vimium is bundled for keyboard navigation: f for link hints, j/k to scroll, t for a new tab. Mouse works too. It works over SSH.

Not yet: tmux/screen, native Windows (WSL2 works), Linux ARM64.

MIT, one-line install:

curl -fsSL https://termium.dev/install | bash

Source: https://github.com/codr1/termium

Feedback very welcome, especially what breaks in your terminal.
(Disclosure: Significant portions of Termium were coded with / by AI)

Terminal Proteins Viewer

541 Upvotes

Been working a lot over SSH lately and got tired of not having a quick way to visualise protein structures without leaving the terminal, and didn't want to use VSCode every time, so I (and Claude) built one. runs fast, works over SSH, no GUI needed. Use it basically every day now, thought someone else might find it helpful. Can do Cartoon, backbone, and wireframe. Can also fetch from PDB as well as view PDB/cif files.
