Mastodon

Will McGuganI've been working on streaming Markdown documents in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Textual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Textual</a>, which is a challenge to be sure!It's working remarkably well now, and very performant. Even zooming out to a ridiculous extent as you can see in the video.Also made the tables prettier, and in the process enabled text selection within the tables.

Will McGuganAdded a little more polish...<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Python</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Textual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Textual</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a>

Will McGuganThe day before treason day (jk) is a terrible time to announce anything, so consider this a teaser.I've spend the last two afternoons hacking on an experimental terminal UI for a AI coding agent called Toad 🐸Will be posting more soon. Follow me if you aren't already!Here's a video of it in action:Note that this is a real app, but the AI interaction are mocked. WDYT? Should I make this real?<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuVRs7e1BqM&ab_channel=WillMcGugan" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuVRs7e1BqM&ab_channel=WillMcGugan</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Python</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Textual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Textual</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a>

mr_daemonI think my little patch reporting and dashboard tool for unix systems is Feature Complete at this point. It has both a rich CLI with its own REPL, and a pretty TUI, and both can be used at the same time.All that remains is some cleanup in regard to authentication for scenarios that aren't "everything uses the same account on every system in sudoers with nopasswd and ssh agents everywhere", and writing a shitton of documentation for everything.Hopefully I can Not Procrastinate for Six Weeks(tm) and release it soon.<a href="https://untrusted.website/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Python</a> <a href="https://untrusted.website/tags/exosphere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#exosphere</a> <a href="https://untrusted.website/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a> <a href="https://untrusted.website/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://untrusted.website/tags/freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#freebsd</a> <a href="https://untrusted.website/tags/textual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#textual</a>

mr_daemonOh no, for some reason I started making a stupid modal TUI for my nice little tool that does reporting on updates, and now I can't stop.DO I EVEN NEED THIS AT THIS POINT? I have a super nice interactive prompt that does pretty tables and data display, but I can't stop.<a href="https://untrusted.website/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Python</a> <a href="https://untrusted.website/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a> <a href="https://untrusted.website/tags/textual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#textual</a>

Will McGuganI've released Ganglion. A web server which can publish any number of Textual apps. 🦾This is good example of a high performance Python async application.
