There's a detailed screenshot but I can't zoom to see the detail because the website designer has gone the extra mile to make it non-zoomable. Why do people do this?

#72My first impression was that it looks cool, but than I tried to think of a use case and failed. It still looks very cool, though. If I want to look anything up I just look it up, no need for something to run somewhere to occasionally glance on.

I can zoom in desktop Firefox and can't in mobile Firefox. In addition on mobile screenshot is heavily distorted vertically.

#75Nice. I might have to try use it. I use tmux (wrapped in byobu) a lot and tend to end up with one screen (on each host I usual a fair amount) as a dashboard like this, manually constructed from many panes each running a tool like iftop, watching a log with "tail -f", or regularly running other checks via "watch", ...
Probably the most useful piece of software I've ever glued together was a tmuxinator script to bring up a dashboard that monitored system health using curl and displaying status of each subsystem in large red/green words using figlet.
Took me a night of work to get it right but it ran on a monitor in our engineering area, and one Quality/Ops peoples desktops for years.

#76I would appreciate a list of requirements. Does it only work on mac? What kind of terminals can be used?
Also available as a Docker container: https://hub.docker.com/r/wtfutil/wtf
It's highly likely this won't work as-is, unfortunately. Docker support is "experimental" at best and a lot more effort needs to be put into the Dockerfile.

#77Honestly curious - why do people live mostly in their terminal? Is it a productivity thing?

#78Only takes x11 color names and not hex? wtf.
The underlying libraries WTF is built upon use colour strings to define colours, so WTF does too.
But this is a cool idea. Issue #546 has been opened for this.

#79Google Apps/Calendar but no CalDAV for those of us who left the google mothership takes away a big reason I'd use this.
Feel free to open an issue on it. CalDAV is a great idea.

In Firefox for Android you can force enable zoom in Settings => Accessibility.
Still doesn't fix the stretching of the image...
