Fun CLI experiment I forgot I did 🙈 I've built way too many CLI experiments, and found this today while building more 😅

Here's a wheel which experiments with color, cursor, animation, and rendering techniques! ☸️

If you're using Claude Code, you gotta have a snazzy supportive statusline 😍

You can use what I use: howdy.so/ccstatusline 🙌

I had stuff to do, so instead I started building a mobile app I've been dreaming about for a while 🫶

Of course using NativePHP 🙌 Really nice to go from an empty repo to iterating in the emulator in 30 minutes 📲

Your terminal can be a piano 😅 With this CLI piano in PHP, hooking into MacOS' Audio Toolbox 🎹

A terminal chalkboard in PHP 👨‍🏫 with positional audio!? 🎧 🤯

We can't let Aaron Francis be the _only_ person with a cool-ass chalkboard!

Draw over SSH, then download your drawing as a PNG? 🤯

Ridiculous!

Basic bitch MS Paint over SSH 🎨

Give it a try if you have a good terminal 😁

And if your terminal spews chars, just run 'reset' 😉

Your terminal can detect the exact pixel your mouse is on, and can draw RGBA pixels, so obviously you build MS Paint in your terminal with PHP 😅

Experimenting with a video content management system with 'quick record' buttons 🎬

So I can organize my channels and videos, then quickly record takes/videos linked to them 👌 Automatically organized with the correct names, into the correct folder hierarchy 🫶

This is crazy - I built a screen recorder in Laravel 🤯

There's so much more possibility here, so much more I want to be able to do. It's going to be so simple to record, edit, and manage an entire video course 🔥 Let's freakin' go!

I am not a smart man 😩 I just wrote PHP to partially parse ProRes video files? 😅

This shows PHP spawning framecap to record my cam, then extracting a frame from the file it's writing to, wrapping it in a moov header, converting it to PNG, then showing that back in my terminal 😅

I'm so lazy I have a command that opens Spotify and plays a particular playlist 😅

Using this a lot right now, for when I need to focus and start doing deep work 🎧

Made a lil' terminal loading animation with weird words, guess I can be CTO of Anthropic now? 😅

Need a UUID? I got you 😅

Everybody knows you can name files with emojis, but it's _still_ crazy that this works no?! 🤯
