Twin – A Textmode WINdow Environment

Reminds me of

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DESQview and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_TopView

It'd be interesting to try this concept again on the wildly different computers we have now compared to 40 years ago.

4k monitors, high speed networks, dozens of cores, things are significantly different - might open some wildly exciting and new possibilities

Glad to see it's still going.

It amuses me that that a project that started in 1993 is still versioned at 0.9.0 for it's latest stable release.

It's a good reminder that version number don't necissarily denote stability.

Wonder if my ansi-img image viewer works in that. Won't compile this from source to test it, but if it's in my Linux distribution I'll do later.

I remember somewhen in the 90s, having a 386er Linux system with 8MB RAM, experimenting with twin... So cool, that this project is still alive!

Peak UI for sure!

Last I checked (easily been a decade) it had a major limitation in not supporting Unicode.

I wonder if this was ever resolved.

Does it support Liquid Glass? :')
