Me too, using irssi.

yep, same. Just something about terminal chat clients. I wish Discord would allow you to create a terminal client where you didn't have to do all kinds of workarounds.

If I remember correctly there is such a thing on GitHub, although it is against Discord's ToS. I have a Discord bot that I have written in two different languages as well. It would not be difficult to turn either of them into a pretty TUI. I probably would give Tk a chance, too. It is very lightweight, and can be made really pretty with ease.

yeah it was a matter of time before people starting spamming

I would have expected some self selection: these are people from HN who know how to use SSH. Not exactly a high bar but implies some proficiency with software.

What you actually select for with this particular requirement is misanthropic elitists who see new tech as something to break. A shame, isn't it?

Love the fact that there are currently more people on the server than likes on this post :D You might wanna take a look at https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea ad specifically https://github.com/charmbracelet/soft-serve for v2. IRC style commands that are only sent to the sender would also be nice as current version is a bit spammy with help and user commands.

+1 for charm bracelet, those libs are great. Plus the website is amazing

I typed "hello" and hit Enter, and the whole thing froze. Had to close my shell because I couldn't get out of the chat session any other way. Not great.

FYI if you use an openssh client and you can't disconnect via closing the remote shell normally, type RET+tilde+period in sequence to close it forcefully without losing your local shell. There are more RET+tilde shortcuts as well.

Thank you. This is extremely useful information.
