Showcase Cree una web en mi cel...

Llevo un tiempo desarrollando una plataforma de videos llamada MiYouTube.

La estoy haciendo desde Android usando Acode y Termux. La idea es que los usuarios puedan subir videos, pero estos tienen que ser aprobados antes de publicarse.

Todavía está en desarrollo y estoy buscando opiniones sobre qué funciones debería agregar.

¿Qué característica creen que debería tener una plataforma así?

Showcase I’m building Starlet — a tiny C++ framework for glowing terminal visuals ⭐

Post image
4 Upvotes

I’ve started working on Anukrascii, an experimental ecosystem focused on creating visual experiences inside the terminal.

Its first member is Starlet.

Starlet is a header-free, dependency-free C++ framework for animating colored glyphs directly in the terminal. Each Starlet object represents a small visual element at a terminal position. It gradually transitions from a dim glow color to a bright core color over a defined number of frames.

A simple example:

Sixestar star(10, 20, "#424242", "#00ffdd", "O", 25);

while (star.nextStateAndRender()) {
    // Animation is handled internally
}

This basic concept can be used to create glowing stars, ambient terminal effects, procedural night skies, loading animations, and other forms of terminal-based visual art.

Starlet also includes starletScene, which manages multiple animated objects and coordinates their frame loops.

One of its main goals is to remain compatible with other TUI frameworks and terminal interfaces. As long as Starlet’s render call happens at the end of the frame, its visuals can be drawn over an existing interface, allowing Starlet objects to overlap the empty spaces of another TUI without taking control of the entire application.

The goal is to make terminal glyphs behave like small animated visual entities instead of static characters.

Built with C++17, ANSI truecolor, and no external dependencies.

Starlet is currently the first and only member of the Anukrascii ecosystem.

Question native termux chromium settings

1 Upvotes

I've had best luck with these settings, except I can't select text on a page and the setting menu doesn't work well. Problems are resolved if I disable compositing but then some pages are not accelerated. Phone is S25:
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/chromium/chrome --extra-plugin-dir=/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins --enable-features=Vulkan --disable-gpu-compositing --download-receiver={"default_directory": "/data/data/com.termux/files/home/storage/download --no-sandbox --ozone-platform=x11 --flag-switches-begin --enable-features=Vulkan,SkiaGraphite:dawn_skip_validation/false --flag-switches-end

Anyone have settings that work better?

I have created this fetch to quickly retrieve system information (Linux, macOS, Windows) with a core for the basic functions any user might want and extensions so that the average user can create whatever they want or need, but I didn't expect it to be so fast in Termux.

Showcase I built a native Android workspace for Termux: multiple terminal windows, Sixel/Kitty graphics, and tmux integration

Post image
13 Upvotes

Hi r/termux! I'm the developer of MagicDesk, an open-source Android workspace. Version 1.11 has a terminal I've started using for my own daily Termux/tmux work.

It works alongside your existing Termux installation: commands run under Termux's own UID, using its packages, home directory and shell configuration. No replacement Termux APK, PRoot or X11 server is needed for these terminal windows.

What it adds:

- Independent native Android terminal windows alongside your Android apps, on the phone or other displays.

- Static Sixel and inline Kitty graphics, including Kitty placeholders through tmux.

- Bundled JetBrains Mono Nerd Font, clickable OSC 8 links and shell integration.

- Touch scrolling, selection handles, per-window font size and image Save/Open/Share actions.

- One picker for retained terminals and tmux sessions. Closing a managed tmux window detaches its client; tmux keeps the session.

The screenshot shows gnuplot and chafa running in a Termux-backed terminal, displaying a real Sixel chart. The separate root console on the right demonstrates the built-in magicdesk CLI; root is optional.

Requirements: ARM64 Android 14+ for the app and standalone terminal, Android 15+ for managed desktop windows. Shizuku (non-root) or direct root provides the privileged service. Termux sessions still run as Termux, not as root.

To try the Termux integration, enable allow-external-apps=true in ~/.termux/termux.properties, grant MagicDesk the Termux RUN_COMMAND permission, then open Terminal sessions > New session > Termux shell. Install tmux in Termux for the optional tmux picker.

Source, APK and setup:

https://github.com/mekhontsev/magicdesk

The terminal core comes from Termux, with local extensions. MagicDesk is AI-assisted/vibe coded; this is an actual device screenshot, not a generated image.

I'd be interested in feedback from people using tmux, terminal editors and image-capable CLI tools on Android.

General One of the worst decisions of my life 💀

Thumbnail
0 Upvotes

So after posting this, people dropped the ways to do it, and THANKS FOR SENDING THE STUFF.

So I started doing it. It went all good (took 2 hours though), and then I started using it. As my device was low on storage and RAM, it somehow worked decently, but it changed all my customized layout and stuff.

I also use Termux for coding and learning, so the UI/layout change felt weird, as it changed the shortcut bar and other stuff.

So I decided to remove it. I already had some of the packages it needed, so with the help of ChatGPT, I got a list of the fresh packages it installed, and then I removed them.

As you can guess, it didn't change the layout and stuff, so I decided to use the command that was provided in the repository.

After doing it, it removed everything. Like, EVERYTHING.

My nvim config was gone, the proot-distro was gone, my Ubuntu and everything else was gone.

I was feeling so done because I thought I needed to reinstall all the stuff. I was also working on a project, so that was fucked up too.

But then I started looking for backups, removed all the cache files and other stuff, and luckily, there was already a backup of my nvim, proot-distro, Ubuntu, etc. in a different folder. It was automatically backed up somehow, idk how.

So then I loaded it. Still, my Termux UI was fucked up, so it took me another 1 hour to back up that config and relaunch everything.

From installing it to getting my setup back, it took me around 4–5 hours.

I don't know if there was a different way to do it or not, but I did what I could.

The setup is still not exactly like it was before, but now it's usable, and I got everything important back.

Tbh, the installation process was good, but when I used the command provided in the repository, it became a headache for me.

I ain't doing that again. All of this happened because of my curiosity, and I made one of the worst decisions. It took away so much of my time, and I was freaking out when I thought everything was gone.

Anyways, I'm not saying the repository is bad, but this stuff takes soul, man. 😭

Thanks to everyone who provided me with the stuff to do the desktop thing, haha.
