I dunno if this is appropriate for this community, so mods, please delete if not.
I have been writing a screen clone in rust.
https://github.com/cameroncros/PoorMansScreen/tree/better_screen (The main branch is how I currently use it, not at all screen-like, the better_screen branch is much closer to a screen replacement.)
It all currently works fine, albeit quite simple, and I suspect not following best practices. Please talk shit about my code so I can fix that :D
For my next stage of development, I would like to use some combo of vt100 and ratatui to wrap the shell in a border, or add a menu bar at the top or bottom to make it clear when the user is inside a “screen”. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to go about doing that? I am very unskilled at ratatui.
for the minimal use case this exists as well. https://github.com/crigler/dtach
Lol, if only I had known about this a year ago, that’s exactly what I wanted/needed.
I guess I could change the topic name to “Rewrite of
dtachin Rust” :/
