This is sexy, and interesting. Following! "Encrypted voice, video, and chat over Tor -- entirely from the terminal." and it has Push to Talk. It is cool.

Funny to see the avatar on the GitLab project https://gitlab.com/uploads/-/system/user/avatar/32369523/ava... ASCII-person :-D

Just 2 files .. that is nice .. https://gitlab.com/here_forawhile/tcom/-/tree/main .. it's pretty readable too.

FYI: I ran and installed deps (excluding numpy) and then performed the audio/video loopback test, and that worked - perfectly nice :) (might want to zoom on my face automagically, for facial-cues, as my resolution was low). While running in iTerm2 on macos the main menu, after this, it complained about blocking scrollback-history clearing attempts, and then became unwilling to show typed digits - only for the deps + loopback test phases was it willing to show them. ENTER was processed, and the menu rightly said "invalid choice". Still, good work! Here's a video:

Wow thankyou for the feedback!

I am working on that exact fix for the options entry something is hanging in the loop entering inputs.

There are a few bugs to work out and polishing that needs to take place on the menu side.

I plan to make all the functionality of terminalcam compatible within tcom, currently it's defaulting to the max compression settings so the preview isn't exactly matching what is sent whuch is bothering me. You'll notice runing the standalone terminalcam.py provides a lot more configurability if it runs on its own.

I was able to trigger the macos follow face / remove background features before it gets preprocessed on terminalcam. I'm not sure what if every macos flavor has this.

Loved the video, so awesome.
