It started as a stupid project cause I was bored. How much can you actually do
without a windowing environment?
After finding out how to post to lemmy from a TTY, I realized that I can do most
things I do daily using text.
Browsing the web in links, which opens all sorts of files in the corresponding
programs if configured correctly.
Opening images in fbi, PDFs in fbpdf, listening to music in cmus, watching
movies in mplayer, using e-mail in alpine, creating documents in vim and latex,
…
The only thing that still requires a GUI is image editing and a few websites I
need that don’t work without JavaScript.
And it’s actually really nice…more focused, without loading times, animations,
popups, ads, or other distractions, and everything is scriptable.
Anyway, sorry for the blog post.
WOO, I love TUI apps <3 To shamelessly self-plug and throw my own TUI thing into the mix… Benben is a fast and efficient command line audio player and audio converter with an oldschool feel >_>
Anyway, what about an “awesome list” here, as a pinned comment?

Good idea; I pinned the two threads that mention collections of tools. But note that comments cannot be pinned.
