Have we really come so far? This has to be full circle, right?<p>First we had a wave of “see what can be done in a browser!” kind of demos.<p>Which at the time was massively impressing, because nobody thought you could <i>seriously</i> use the browser for other things than documents and very slow and clicky applications.<p>These days impressive browser-based experiences are the norm and native software is often accused of being visually “boring” and inanimate.<p>And here we’re back at the beginning: a tech demo for a native app, in the terminal, trying to reproduce what was once a tech demo of what you could do in a browser, as if that’s somehow novel.<p>Just 30 (or more?) years after nethack.<p>I’m honestly not sure how to feel about that ;)
