I'm the author of Trolley[0] (Electron for TUIs).
It was so easy to get the terminal functionality going with `libghostty`. Most time was spent building the functionality around it.
Thanks for making it.

- mdeeks 7mo agoI'm not quite understanding your project. What is the use case? Is this so I can package up an existing terminal app as a dedicated desktop app? If so that actually sounds really cool. I'd like a dedicated lazygit app in my tray at all times.
- oDot 7mo agoYes, that's it. It came about after writing a small TUI for a friend to back up their Vimeo library. They liked the simplicity and speed but not having to use the shell. Didn't want to install Ghostty either. So here we are
- dust-jacket 7mo agoThis is kinda cool. Thanks for sharing.
- hesdeadjim 7mo agoMy brother has built a game using python on the CLI and I've been trying to find a way to package it. Your project seems very promising for my use case. Project mentions Windows compiles but isn't tested. Do you have a gut check on what issues there might be?
- oDot 7mo agoI think it may actually work. It's just that I only have a VM to test it on, and it does not support OpenGL. I got it to compile and run, but it crashed on that VM limitation. Feel free to open issues in the repo, I'll find a way to get a Windows machine if there's interest. You can also email me at `trolley [at] wands [dot] is`
