I'm so looking forward to dropping netstandard2.0 as part of version 2.0 of Spectre.Console...

TinyStart has replaced Raycast for me. Perfect for Neo as well due to its low memory footprint. Recommended!

I added my little Elm architecture + Spectre.Tui love story to GitHub for anyone who wants to take it for a spin or build something themselves. A lot of rough edges, but I'm planning on smoothing them out a bit in the coming week.
It's based on, and inspired by @Philco's Spectre.Tui.Doodads library (link in repo).

First actual "real" application using Spectre.Tui, using an Elm-inspired framework. The query is returning hard-coded data for now, and the info view is not yet implemented, but I like the programming model.
Huge shout-out to @Philco for the inspiration I drew from his library!

Thinking of writing some kind of small TUI app tonight to take Spectre.Tui for a spin. Anyone have any suggestions?

I added two new render modes for FigletText in Spectre.Console today: fitting (aka kerning) and smushing. Both will be available in the next version.

I just remembered how I bought Sean Lennon's "Into the Sun" record in 8:th grade and my friends (Bengt and Oskar) laughed at my choice of music! I still to this day think it's one of the best albums (after Beck's "Mutations") ever produced!

@anderseknert@swecyb.com I don’t get why they even bother to reply to it. Just close and block. The anthropomorphization of chatbots is wild…
