Introducing Pixel - a library for building GUIs in the terminal
- 120 FPS pixel-perfect graphics
- Embeddable inside existing TUIs
- Built in chromium webview component
pixelgui.com
terminal-browser v0.13 - 5x less CPU usage
terminal-browser relies on sending images to the terminal very fast to create motion. Before, every time a website visually changed an image of the entire page had to be sent to the terminal. On average, that is 100 million pixels transferred to the terminal per second when there is motion
in terminal-browser v0.13 only the changed pixels are sent to the terminal (visualization in video below)
Introducing the terminal-browser claude code plugin!
You can now open terminal-browser directly inside claude code
Now in terminal-browser v0.6.0: SSH Mode
Access any website running on a remote machine from your terminal
This is also available to terminal-browser app mode. For example, terminal-code uses ssh mode to run the vscode backend on a remote machine, while still running the frontend locally
You can find more details in the repo:
github.com/zenbu-labs/termin…
Introducing terminal-code: VS Code inside the terminal
- VS Code compatible CLI
- works over ssh
- syncs with your terminal theme
terminal-code.com
terminal-code uses terminal-browser's app mode feature, which is like building electron apps inside the terminal github.com/zenbu-labs/termin…
Along with support for:
- supacode
- tty7

Now in terminal-browser: Agent Recordings
Record an open browser tab, then point out issues in the video for your agent to fix
terminal-browser.com
Introducing terminal-browser
A browser that runs inside your existing terminal
- Preview your website next to your agent
- Open HTML plans in your terminal
- Browser use CLI built in
terminal-browser.com
Introducing create-desktop-app
Create personal applications that integrate natively with your operating system and can be opened via raycast
npx create-desktop-app
The created app uses Zenbu.js, which means it can always be edited even after being set up in ~/Applications
The apps also share an electron binary, so every app you make only takes up a few hundred kbs
github.com/zenbu-labs/zenbu.…
Introducing Zenbu.js - The framework for hackable software
I wanted the ability to edit the software I use with my coding agents, from there Zenbu.js was born
Zenbu.js allows you to build desktop apps that can be modified by users after installation. This is made possible by:
- shipping the app's raw source code to the user
- a built in plugin system for your apps
npx create-zenbu-app@latest
Zenbu apps operate under the philosophy that there is no distinction between production and development. This gives your users the ability to edit your app the same way you do while developing it.
When you install a Zenbu app, you are essentially cloning a git repo onto your computer, and running it in development mode. Any changes made to that cloned repo instantly hot reload in the running app.
You can try a demo and checkout the docs on GitHub
github.com/zenbu-labs/zenbu.…
In my experience, if u describe anything in low enough detail to a model, it will work. A proof for this is: if you provide it the exact solution in code, all frontier models can echo it back to you
If I already know the exact solution (almost always the case in product level code), it’s much faster to use “low-level-english” instructions vs program it myself
Don't understand me wrong. Agents are great. I still use them almost all the time.
If a specific thing doesn't work out I just try to bail out earlier.
