    Developed by anomalyco[1], the same crew behind OpenCode. Not sure how much of the marketing site is satire, but it looks fun.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;anomalyco" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;anomalyco</a>

    I see this as a novel capability with no reason to think “why?”<p>It’s a capability, use your imagination.<p>Cheers, neat idea

    I am trying to think of use cases for this but I can’t think of one. It’s sort of cool, but I need help figuring out who’s the audience for this here. Why would someone need or want this?

      I’d wager it’s just a bit of fun. Which is amongst the best reasons to do anything.

        Oh that part I understood haha which is why I liked it. Was thinking beyond that though, curious if there’s more to it.

      I think the main value is buried in the page, and that is it can also render in the terminal, so it’s sort of React for TUI apps? And they built OpenCode with it?<p>But then why make console.log your main selling point?

        Because console.log is not much different from stdout in JS&#x2F;Node, I&#x27;d guess.

    I opened the console to see if it there was a demo, but alas there wasn&#x27;t.

    This is cool. Can it also be used out of the box to build regular terminal apps?

    Amazing! But why? Definitely a fun idea.

    I&#x27;m not impressed until I see Doom ported to console.log rendered thru libghostty-vt.

    Everyone asking about use cases fuck off already. It’s fun, that’s reason enough

      Building things just for fun in these AI days just hits different now. wish it wasn&#x27;t so but it is.

        its like the amount of value left to be added is shrinking so people are obsessing and there’s severe jealousy<p>It’s very strange<p>Over time the available value that could be added should be increasing

        I mean - it has a landing page advertising its features. It has an enterprise tier and a &quot;sales team&quot;. It has a merch store. It&#x27;s clearly not meant to be seen as &quot;just for fun.&quot;
        • ctippett22 minutes ago
          The enterprise sales page is so generic I wouldn&#x27;t be surprised if it was just thrown in by whatever LLM created the marketing site.<p>Or maybe I&#x27;m just naive about big enterprise&#x27;s appetite for a library that guarantees 99.99% console uptime.

    Useless but ok.

    usecase?
    • AirMax982 hours ago
      Job application form would be fun! Lots of companies put little hiring ads for web devs in their console.

        Why do that when not only an AI agent will find it easily, but AI agents have clearly replaced these web developers?
    • contrahax1 hour ago
      It looks like the authors also created opencode, and there’s a page about how opencode uses it - so local TUI for agents seems like a primary use case.
