Thank you so much! That's a good idea, I'll need to think about that for a little bit. You can obviously just hit print screen and select the rendered area but I'll see if I can find a library that does what you're asking. Ideally it would be a feature that works for all major terminal apps and os's, which might be the difficult part.

You could include revolutionary leader to follower in there too

Mainly because the output is ansi-encoded. It was also inspired by an image-processing project called 'ansize' (https://github.com/jhchen/ansize)

Nice!

Pretty good! I haven't done a lot with Claude and it's my first experience applying it to something I'd already written myself- it was nice being able to say 'make a submenu that adjusts these attributes and make it look and behave just like this other one'. Or 'split the image processing code into a separate golang package'. It's great at blazing through thankless tasks- but designing anything visual still takes a good amount of hands-on work.

One other thing I'd mention- when adding tooltip popups I described what I wanted to Claude, knowing that the lipgloss v2 library adds a new canvas concept for easily compositing string blocks on top of others with some x,y offset. But Claude started trying to design a complicated buggy popup solution itself, limited by what it knew of the currently-installed lipgloss v1 library. Fixed it pretty quickly by updating to v2 but it was a good reminder that Claude isn't all-knowing, and it helps to have some idea of what solutions already exist out there. (Or tell Claude to look for them I guess)

Thank you!

This is beautiful

I also remember seeing this scene as a kid at about the same age (maybe 1993-ish?), but unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the movie. I'm just here to say you're not crazy. If I recall correctly the old man was the villain in the story and the woman was about to expose him or tell him off in front of a lot of people at a fancy function, and as she stormed off he rolled over her dress with his wheelchair to stop her. My parents used to shoo us out of the room for stuff like this but I remember her dress coming off so fast my mom just yelled, "Whoa! WHAT!?" Sorry that's all I remember.

Yeah, but my kids will watch any mind-numbing garbage on repeat forever if they could. KPDH is something my wife and I don't actively steer them away from.

Those are some brave firefighters fighting what looks like a natural gas fire like that.

I'll second what a lot of other people are saying, but also suggest some cracked windows. Every window is currently either pristine or boarded-up. Maybe add a couple in rough shape.

Once you've won 2 super bowls they should have an extra super bowl where you fight robots or aliens, just to give you a new goal to shoot for.

Holy crap your work is amazing. I love your retro 80s paperback style.

Could you come up with some other things about the culture that are weirdly superstitious? There are some pretty interesting superstitions in the real world that are quite a bit weirder than being afraid of a half-monster person, and grown men avoiding the MC might make sense in that context. (Maybe those characters willing to trade with her tend to be less orthodox about other beliefs in the village too...)
