For anyone else who wants to actually be able to _read_ what's happening in the demo GIF, I slowed it down in ffmpeg and converted it to video form: https://share.cleanshot.com/XBXQbSPP

Low effort comment but an upvote felt inadequate: thanks!

Out of curiosity, why is that?

Yup, similar to other comment. I fear that todays kids are too compliant on everything; the script kiddie ethos at the time still wasn't primarily clear fraud, just chaos. Which, yeah, I think we could use a little of that now.

And I stepped up to being a software engineer from being a script kiddie at first.

I was a script kiddie, I exploited games too when I was a kid, and so on.

People have been making TUIs since time immemorial. Discover the joys of Turbo Vision and things like Norton Commander, DOS Navigator, Word Perfect etc. They problem is that most current tools can neither do the TUI right or the terminal part right.

I wouldn’t describe those traditional TUIs as trying to be flashy, though. They were largely utilitarian.

I haven't tried the project at the link, but I don't see much flashiness there. From the video it actually feels muted compared to the colors of yesteryear.

This used to be opencode but was renamed after some fallout between the devs I think.

Quick correction, from what I understand Dax and Adam started from scratch for the new version.

How to handle an OSS dispute where you're the baddy: rebrand and hope nobody notices. Let's not forget they're the company that bought an OSS project, OpenCode, and tried to "steal" it

You're talking about the wrong company. This is not the company you think it is. These are the creators of `bubbletea`, a popular TUI framework in Go.

it is the same company

I don't get why terminal agents are so popular of late. Having spent more than a decade in terminal based development (vi*), and now fully moved over to a real IDE (vs code), it seems bonkers to me. The IDE is so much more... integrated

IDEs are slower, use more battery/ram/cpu and are ugly without adding any features.

Actually not really. I spent at least an hour trying to get OpenCode to use a local model and then found a graveyard of PRs begging for Ollama support or even the ability to simply add an OpenAI endpoint in the GUI. I guess the maintainers simply don't care. Tried adding it to the backend config and it kept overwriting/deleting my config. Got frustrated and deleted it. Sorry but not sorry, I shouldn't need another cl…

LM Studio is probably better in this regard. I was able to get LM studio to work with Cursor, a product known to specifically avoid giving support to local models. The only requirement is if it uses servers as a middle-man, which is what Cursor does, you need to port forward.

how did you do that? cursor seems very hard for me to modify to use local llms

Other than switching LLMs, if I'm already mostly using Claude, any reason to use this over CC? One problem with these agents is that the tokens don't count for your Claude Max subscription. (Same reason I use CC instead of Zed's AI agent.)

opencode allows auth via Anthropic to enable claude max subscription.
