what the hell is this? it looks sick

- 3eb7988a1663 2y agoIt is not clear to me - can I seamlessly compile the same codebase to a TUI and web or does it require web-first design?
- nicoburns 2y agoI think it requires TUI-first design. Then it should seamlessly compile for web.
- goku12 2y agoI think you're right. The library at the center of this is ratatui - a TUI library for Rust. The web translation layer is new.
- cranberryturkey 2y agoCan you write in JavaScript or does it have to be rust?
- orhunp_ 2y agoThe primary goal is to serve apps that use https://ratatui.rs https://ratatui.rs to web. You can still bundle Javascript via Trunk though.
- assimpleaspossi 2y agoYou find this everywhere in the tech community. Especially places like github. Posts about software where there is no explanation whatsoever as to what it does or why.
- tempodox 2y agoI think that's because the authors are clairvoyant and naively expect us poor souls to be, too.

- iamwil 2y agoIt's impossible to explain everything from the beginning. You might not be the target audience and the software/blog post was unwittingly posted. And sometimes, people just put things on the web for shits and giggles with no audience in mind. With no audience in mind, you don't feel the need to explain anything. Anyway, HN fulfills that need. HN is widely-read that it's likely SOMEONE knows what the hell something is, and if often willing to give a summary. So if you're befuddled, just read the comments.
