Iterated on our upcoming scrollback mode to make it work great on small screens. Reduced vertical space used. Footer including new lines is 4-rows.
if you use opencode in a smaller window and you feel like space is poorly used can you reply with a screenshot?

Working on opentui image elements, just taking a path or URL and behaving like any other flex element.
Using kitty graphics, falling back to sixel, falling back to partial block chars. Next step is video playback with these.
Will take some time to properly land.

Corporate restrictions betray AIs open foundations.
I want to say a final thing about my Fable first reaction: I dedicated my life to programming and I'll use every innovation in the field, also to extract value and bring it to the local inference world, to Redis, and so forth. But:

Itโs odd working on the open-source project Apple uses in its WWDC demo. Fun, but odd.

more and more work is moving into coding agents, I don't live in my editor anymore
but you gotta keep an eye on these little goblins, they write bad code.
so we built a diff viewer in opencode! available now

Say what you want, but for people building products on Bun, this is bad news for the foreseeable future.

๐ฅ NEW BANTER: "We Ran DOOM in a Node.js Terminal. Now There's No Excuse for Your Legacy Native Code"
35fps. With sound. Inside your terminal. Powered by Node.js FFI.
What started as a joke at the Node Collaborator Summit became the most compelling migration argument we've ever made.
@lucamaraschi, @p_insogna and I dig in.

There are many reasons why companies like to hire from Open Source communities. All valid. But on in particular is:
In OSS you do what you want. Nobody tells you what to do. Nobody gives you a list of tasks. You have to figure out how to impose your vision and at the end of the day you succeed or fail.
You need to be very high agency to make a dent in Open Source.
It is a test of high agency.

โBun ported to Rust in 6 days.โ
And on the seventh day, he rested from all his work which he had made.
May 9
99.8% of bunโs pre-existing test suite passes on Linux x64 glibc in the rust rewrite

This works best when you have a segregated interface and implementation
Where this works well:
- Compilers often switch implementation languages
- SQL databases let you write every test in SQL and treat the database as a black box
- Browser engines let you write tests in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, treating rendering and execution as the contract
Where this is harder:
- UI-heavy products, the frontend often is the product, so testing gets slow and flaky
- In ML
- In distributed systems without deterministic simulation testing, many bugs come from timing, ordering, retries, partitions, and partial failures. DST makes this easier. See TigerBeetle
having a thorough test suite deeply deeply deeply decoupled from implementation seems more useful than ever
decoupled to the point where you're testing your backend by executing the frontend

Been working on indexed ANSI colors a minimal OpenCode UI that lives in the main terminal buffer.
These play nicely together.
