This is such a cursed combination... I really don't understand what you get from Godot that benefits you for building a TTY "multiplexer."

Wildly vibe-coded to the extent that it's more misguided than Doom on a pregnancy test...

Also looking at OP's notes here, there doesn't even seem to be a need for this to exist, "FPS counter" ..? Perhaps, I don't know, fake terminals on a spaceship or something. Yueash...

A project without screenshots - I dont know how they expect us to understand unless we read everything

I'll be honest with you: I'm not going to use what you have made. I don't mean that offensively, it's just not what I want to use for my workflow. Keep making tools you enjoy using though. That's the spirit of the computer.

That said, for your browser problem, what if you embed the browser inside of godot? Chromium embedded framework does this. I was able to get this to work for me to see Chrome inside of my godot exported projects. https://github.com/dsh0416/godot-cef I believe this is only for desktop exports though, no html5/mobile builds.

Only downside is you have to use Chromium ;)

While I appreciate the creativity around using a game engine for non gaming applications, this does not seem like a particularly good fit.

If most of your problem is 2d window/text stuff, the web browser is probably the best foundation to work with. UI and hud functionality in COTS game engines is light years behind what chromium and friends can do today.

Is the intended use to improve automation by agents during verification? To make it easier to drive Godot apps during e2e tests, for example?

lmao how is this on the front page at the 2 spot? People upvoting based on seeing buzzwords I assume? It's cool that small projects can get recognition here but this is not useful software

I wanted to share my side-project: gPTY. Started off as an idea to combine Godot and Rust in a project (two stacks I wanted to use more to learn more). The base inspiration was tmux - simply allow spawning multiple PTYs and then let the user grid/tile them how they see fit.

But since we have the Godot game engine at our disposal, we can do some more interesting things, like add an FPS counter, and then subsequently also let people set their preferred FPS (the idea being the potential lower power draw if someone's running it on a laptop on battery power vs someone running it on a desktop with high/native FPS). In its current state, with me using Oh-my-Pi a lot, it's evolving into a terminal workspace that can be used for orchestrating autonomous AI agents by way of dogfooding (or you know, just run herdr inside of gPTY - it's the better orchestrator and just good software - I found it after starting this project, and now I'm finding myself using it a lot).

Also, we're not limited to just terminals. Since we have Godot, we have basically a 2D (and potentially a 3D) canvas to play with. We can already full-screen the app for "zen" mode, no taskbar, no distractions. TUI die-hards can have their media or other apps entirely in terminal panes.

There has been some ground-work on getting Markdowns displayed properly done and I want to work on some kind of Wiki framework for local knowledge-management next, then create more types of panes (think native audio/video on a media pane, that sits alongside your terminal pane), and some simple 2D games (like snake) to prototype. More details are on the ROADMAP.

What's not easy (and probably won't happen) is a browser. Having done a couple of (small) projects using Electron already, the temptation to ditch Godot/Rust (learning curve) did come up (and also the ecosystem, the ease with which I could pull components and use web technologies - development velocity would definitely be higher there). But on the flipside, given all of the available LLM and AI support that we are privileged to have today, I figured the velocity should be comparable depending on how much I leaned on those. And lean I did.

Godot/Rust seemed the better call to me and my intent anyway - going with the 'it's not just the end but the journey that matters' philosophy. So yes, there has been heavy use of LLMs & AI to generate a lot of the code. But I do review and steer actively, not relying solely on vibes, and there's a few bits here & there that have been human authored.

There are definitely a lot of polish and QoL items that need to land to make the end user experience better, but in the meantime, let me know your thoughts and/or concerns!
