Ask HN: Is it possible to get Blessed to render to the DOM?

1 points by elliotbnvl 7y ago

I'd love to be able to take advantage of Blessed's (https://github.com/chjj/blessed) terminal capabilities in the browser, perhaps with Xterm.js (https://xtermjs.org/) or something. Has anybody made this happen yet? Thanks!

Context: I'm building a roguelike (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike) and would love to be able to take advantage of Blessed with react-blessed (https://github.com/Yomguithereal/react-blessed https://github.com/Yomguithereal/react-blessed) to render everything. If I can get Blessed to render to the browser, perhaps I can use that as a renderer for react-blessed. That way I can build an entire terminal interface in React. And even if that didn't go through, I'd at least be able to write a custom React renderer to take advantage of Blessed's window functionality and stuff. If all that fails I'll just have to write a Blessed-lite layer for XTerm and then write a custom React renderer for that.
