What Hacker News says
2 sourcesReally fun project! Dude, I spent the last week implementing Kitty Graphics and Clipboard protocols in ghostty-web in the Canvas render.
Then I added WebGL and WebGPU renderers [1], including support for Kitty.
Then I see this this project on a Monday morning... so now I have to implement Ratty Graphics Protocol?!?! [2].
ETA: I looked into this; Ghostty would need patched to support Ratty since Ghostty-Web now defers APC handling there. It would also require pulling in a 3D engine like three.js or otherwise implementing file parsing, lighting, etc. Finally, since local filenames are part of the protocol, a browser would need some file resolver helper, either to get the data over the APC channel or via a URL.
