is the ASCII animation native to the project or is it using some library?

It's the vinyl of computing.

#43One day i will make an app you can connect with telnet or ssh so that you can do pricetracker.wtf on cli. One day. Very cool project!
I think charmbracelet/wish is what you need.

#44I watched the animated gif in the readme and let out a shout of delight when I saw the lightning strike, and on the second loop appreciated how it also lit up the surroundings. Lovely attention to detail! I looked at the snow one and almost expected snowdrifts to start accumulating.
For me (in firefox) whole screen froze for a sec/two when lightning hit.
Can confirm the same issue.

#45I'm intrigued by these TUI posts I see, but I'm wondering how everyone uses more then one at a time. Do you all keep multiple terminal windows or tabs open with these apps all day or just open these TUI apps when needed?
iTerm2 on macOS, I must have at least 8 tabs open all day.
Not sure how else it would be now that I use claude code and codex so much.

#46Looks like Weatherwar 2 for the C64.

same here in safari. first strike ok, second froze for a few sec. I did like the sort of 'obstruction' effect of the rain on the house for example. obvioulsy a limitation of the char based render, but it adds a pleasing kind of obscuring effect.

#48Reminds me of weatherspect( https://robobunny.com/projects/weatherspect/html/ ) which unfortunately hasn't been working since the API it was using was deprecated/abandoned

I'm convinced we are cycling through the stages of programming as it becomes commoditized.
That'd be true if there were more TUI applications being developed , but I'm not sure that's necessarily the case, since there have always been a lot of them out there. It seems like people are talking about them more often, though.
Definitely more too thanks to really mature rust tui tooling
