This is actually a small proof of concept for the much larger project that is Arcan or Arcan-fe. Did a fair amount of research into it. Its philosophy is to move away from the traditional desktop experience and create fundamentally unique, new interfaces. More on its founding principles can be found on this site: https://www.divergent-desktop.org/blog/2020/08/10/principles.... The core of Arcan is written in C with a little Lua and takes inspiration from game engines, display servers, and streaming multimedia processors. It combines similar functionality of these traditionally seperate low level graphics to create an all-in-one graphical display engine. According to this slideshow (https://speakerdeck.com/letoram/arcan), the "last mile" for making any gui/tui can be as little as simple scripts. Writing scripts(mostly lua as of right now) can get you a tiling wm, audio/video playback, a libretro-based emulator running a game, and as this post shows a dynamic new command line shell. An interesting project overall to keep an eye on. Can see it used as another modern alternative to the aging X/X11/Xorg on GNU+Linux and BSDs.

A very interesting project. Utterly irrelevant, but that blog page is my dream web page. The text centering, the layout, and above all, the background color. It is for me the most pleasant and comfortable color to read text on. Stealing it!
