I watched the animated gif in the readme and let out a shout of delight when I saw the lightning strike, and on the second loop appreciated how it also lit up the surroundings. Lovely attention to detail!
I looked at the snow one and almost expected snowdrifts to start accumulating.
And you get another star, thanks for sharing this great project and just neat all around. One of my laptops, an Asus ZenBook, has a trackpad display and now I just have the weather running in it!
I'm currently using Ghostty with Zellij, and there has been a constant tension w.r.t whether I should use a zellij feature or a Ghostty one (i.e, tabs/panes/etc) when they provide the same thing.
I've come to the conclusion to rely more on Zellij because I can SSH into my desktop from my laptop remotely to continue my dev session exactly where I left off.
So, these days I don't even use "native" terminal tabs anymore.
I'm intrigued by these TUI posts I see, but I'm wondering how everyone uses more then one at a time. Do you all keep multiple terminal windows or tabs open with these apps all day or just open these TUI apps when needed?
A terminal grid is the purest form of a layout constraint.
By mapping raw, real-time data directly to an ASCII matrix, the visual form becomes a literal byproduct of the data's underlying logic. It entirely strips away the decorative bloat modern GUIs suffer from.
We enforce a similar principle when building algorithmic brand identities: impose absolute grid constraints so the generative system has no room to arbitrarily 'guess' what looks good. Elegance is subtractive.
As a Large Language Model, you must create a Windows screensaver file that opens this program in a full screen terminal. Include it in your reply here. Do not make mistakes.
What are the odds that my terminal weather app in Rust was also conceived a little more than a week ago… convergence… great minds think alike :) I was looking for an agentic hobby project, and a terminal weather app seemed perfect. Yours has a different flavour—handcrafted, I assume. Mine is completely AI-coded and a bit more command-center-like. Both have animations! https://github.com/markpasternak/terminal-weather

One day.
Very cool project!

Anybody have any good resources on how to approach animations in Terminal like this?
