Text.js: Build full-stack React apps that render inside console.log

I am trying to think of use cases for this but I can’t think of one. It’s sort of cool, but I need help figuring out who’s the audience for this here. Why would someone need or want this?

Claude code uses a similar design principle, nice to see what they’re doing inspired an open build. These opencode folks are slick.

Developed by anomalyco[1], the same crew behind OpenCode. Not sure how much of the marketing site is satire, but it looks fun.

I see this as a novel capability with no reason to think “why?”

It’s a capability, use your imagination.

Cheers, neat idea

I opened the console to see if it there was a demo, but alas there wasn't.

This is cool. Can it also be used out of the box to build regular terminal apps?

Amazing! But why? Definitely a fun idea.

I'm not impressed until I see Doom ported to console.log rendered thru libghostty-vt.

How does it compare to

Everyone asking about use cases fuck off already. It’s fun, that’s reason enough

Now build a browser in it

Useless but ok.

usecase?
