Solved the nested terminal problem on Windows with #hex1b. This screenshot is from a build of Hex1b that has a pty proxy, shows terminals nested in terminals nested in terminals.

Loving some of the demos from Revision 2026: 2026.revision-party.net

I had to rebuild my machine this weekend. What is the latest NerdFont that all the cool kids are using? I want really broad glyph support.

Need to up my game

Glad to see Return to Creche is going well :P

Not long until #AspireConf not. Looking forward sharing what the @aspire.dev team has been up to.

Slightly more involved demo including interactive widgets

Here is a little demo I put together combining #Hex1b with another cool open-source project called Trolley.

Learned about it from the comments to a link on HN about this example in the Ghostty org: github.com/ghostty-org/....

Needs more purple.

Needs more sparkles.

Looking forward to #AspireConf coming up next week! So much good stuff in Aspire 13.2 and over the last few releases of Aspire actually.

If you look at a look at Aspire a little while ago and haven't been keeping track you really want to catch some of the conference sessions.

I feel you. I wanted to setup code signing in Hex1b but the Azure Artifact Signing Service isn’t available in Australia and I don’t want to break into jail soon key management.

Oh wow quick turn around. When is your next release window?

@patriksvensson.se I've got Copilot writing a bug fix for Spectre Console for a bug we found in Aspire. I already told it that you don't like its type:

My robot vac just turned off my computer by ramming the the power cable. That the time I was getting openclaw running in a container isolated from my primary OS. I feel like this was a preemptive strike. Has the war begun?

Oh yeah.

LLM over the weekend suggest async local. Bad LLM. Bad bad LLM!

Remember the maple bacon they used to serve on campus for catered breakfasts. Dunno if they still do it but same idea I think. Sweet and salty.

Did you hear?! #AspireConf is coming March 23! 💫 Are you as excited as we are?! Save the date and see the agenda so far: aspire.dev/aspireconf/?...

#Python #TypeScript #dotnet #AspireDev

This feedback has been passed on previously ;)

The fun bit is the double change we get down here.

I think I'm 95% of the way there with KGP support in the TUI side of #hex1b

Working on Kitty Graphics Protocol support in #hex1b. Here is a picture of some output of one of the test cases. A few more tests at the Hex1bTerminal layer and then I can figure out the best way to make this work within the TUI abstraction and build on this strong foundation.

Meant to say I "can" communicate in shorthand :) My kingdom for an edit button :P

In both the @aspire.dev and #hex1b codebases I cannot communicate in shorthand because there is enough code that shapes the agent's behavior. Building "repo dialect" is an important role for developers doing engineering with coding agents. It is what unlocks productivity.

AGENTS.md AGENTS.md is a simple, open format for guiding coding agents. Think of it as a README for agents.

Adding AGENTS.md and SKILL.md files is a big part of that dialect being in place when you start a project, but as you progress the code itself, if following consistent patterns should form a much larger part of the dialect.

I think one of the biggest challenges that people have with coding agents is establishing a domain specific dialect that they and the agent can use to efficiently communicate.

Giving the agent the right context can help with this, but there are multiple sources for this context.

GitHub Copilot has been busy extending the Editor widget in #hex1b to support syntax highlighting. Here is a little taste test of where it is at.

Feature: WithDockerContainer() for isolated terminal testing · Issue #214 · mitchdenny/hex1b Problem When using Hex1b for CLI end-to-end testing (e.g. the Aspire CLI E2E tests), tests run directly on the host via WithPtyProcess("/bin/bash", ...). This means tests share the host filesystem,...

Just shipped an update to #hex1b today which adds a `WithDockerContainer` API to Hex1bTerminaBuilder. The idea is that you attach a running container to your terminal to help with test isolation. Works fairly well although not very visual. Was @davidfowl.com's idea.
