Beautiful demonstration. I want my whole phone to be like that

If it’s on a computer with a keyboard it would be fine. Not interested in a CLI where the keyboard is a touch screen UI element.
I would also go as far as hiding a mini snake game as an easter egg
If you want some code for that I have my own C++ version I made for an ESP32 with OLED screen, it can easily be adapted to most other languages. I did it to get some programming practice. I have Tetris too. All you gotta do is replace the GPIO button inputs with keyboard inputs (or some other boolean on/off user input element) and replace the graphics framework and routines as well (it's only simple stuff like lines, boxes, and setting individual pixels). The whole thing runs in a "neverending" while loop, first checking inputs, then checking collisions, then redrawing any objects that need to move to another position.
I can upload to my GitHub and link them later after work. They do use OOP though, treating each sprite on the board as its own object, and feeding pointers to them into a collision detection routine every game tick. I dunno, some people have a visceral hate for OOP.
Would be fun.
It's beautiful
I would feel like I was 8 again hehe. I'd check it out if made
Eh, I think there's a need for appropriate technology here. Lemmy is inherently a multi-modal platform, with images, links, and text. I like the browser skins and apps that browse Lemmy.
As an educational project or simply for fun I say go for it.
Yeah cool idea but for the less tech adept like myself I’d be scared off. Voyager is perfect for me.
I would instantly put it as the default for my server
How does Lemmy render in w3m, lynx or links?
Not well - at least in Lynx, content doesn't load at all. You basically get the sidebar.
Piefed looks great though. Obviously not the feel of a native terminal app, but seemingly fully functional and everything makes sense.
Interesting. I remember seeing a screenshot of someone browsing Lemmy on a terminal, not sure what they were using
Maybe it was Neon Modem Overdrive, or this TUI app.
But, yeah - shell browsers like the ones you mentioned don't support JavaScript, so won't work with Lemmy (as it currently is - it might be different when they start using the leptos-based UI). There's places where they're not great with PieFed either (e.g. link2 -g can't deal with WEBP images), but it's completely theme-able, so a theme could easily be added by someone suitably invested to overwrite the existing HTML and provide a better experience.
