    I approve of this approach. The docs for Textual (TUI library for Python) build screenshots along with the docs. Technically not really screenshots, they are SVGs, but principle is…

    What TUIs are you referring to? Mouse is supported and working on just about every TUI framework.

    It is possible. Terminals have supported mouse interactions for a long time.

    I know for a fact that Textual can generate an entire frame in less than a 60th of a second. Any lag you see has nothing to do with the choice of language. A TUI just doesn’t requi…

    Not saying there isn't room for improvement. This is the first release, and work is ongoing. But I can't predict everyone's assumptions. Everyone brings their own experiences to th…

    It’s stored statically in the Codebase. In the future, I suspect there will be enough compatible agents that there might be a web service to search them. I think they are working i…

    It is quite literally instantaneous on my 5 year old laptop. Whatever you are seeing isn't due to the choice of Python.

    The ACP protocol supports MCP. That would be how the client provides additional functionality for the agent. There's no UI in Toad for that yet, but there will be in a future updat…

    It should be as easy as running: toad acp “command”

    You may be confusing Agent Communication Protocol with Agent Client Protocol. Yeah, 2 ACP protocols. I had no hand in the naming. If an agent can be configured to use Ollama, then …

    Pretty sure I could run Toad in Toad, but I’m scared to try.

    I don’t follow your first question. Toad already displays pretty diffs. MCP works in the same way as the native CLI. One of the advantages of Toad is that it is vendor agnostic. In…

    That’s pretty much it. You can bring your own agent. Including OpenCode by the way. I doubt they will mind as they still get paid for the tokens. You get a nice UI that is only goi…

    Hope you like it. It is still Claude Code doing the work. Toad talks to the agent, and is the agent that works with the LLM. So the results should be identical to the native CLI.

    Guess you don’t like sci-fi movie quotes. You can change that to a simple pulse animation in the settings. It literally is using Claude under the hood. Should be no different than …
