[*Neon Modem Overdrive*][neonmodem] is a BBS-like command line client that
|
|
|
|
|
supports [Discourse][discourse], [Lemmy][lemmy], [Lobsters][lobsters] and
|
|
|
|
|
[Hacker News][hackernews] as backends and seamlessly integrates all of them into
|
|
|
|
|
a streamlined TUI. And yes, you heard that right, I really called it *Neon Modem
|
|
|
|
|
Overdrive*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Neon Modem* is built in Go, using [Charm's Bubbletea][bubbletea] TUI framework,
|
|
|
|
|
but implements an own *window manager* (or *compositor* if you want) that allows
|
|
|
|
|
it to use a third dimension, on top of the two dimensional rendering that
|
|
|
|
|
Bubbletea offers today. With that it is possible to display dialogs on top of
|
|
|
|
|
one another, in order to offer a smoother UI experience.
