Show HN: terminal-code Renders Full VS Code Inside a Terminal via the Kitty Graphics Protocol, at 93 Points
Show HN·medium signal
Posted by robpruzan roughly 20 hours ago, terminal-code streams the Electron VS Code UI into a terminal window using the kitty graphics protocol rather than text cells, effectively VS Code over RDP but inside your shell. It hit 93 points and 24 comments, with reception split between people who found it ingenious and people asking why you would run a bloated Electron app over a bloated graphics stack instead of Neovim. The practical case raised in comments is VS Code performance over remote RDP or X11 links.
