https://github.com/blucz/Vector is a project that uses Hershey fonts to emulate a vector display terminal.


This is not fast. It uses less texture memory but it is not faster than 2 triangles per character. This is why no one really uses this technique in a production system right now.


The article says he is not coming with.


10.10 required, lame. This is most useful on Mavericks, where the sidebar doesn't already have widgets.


Founder here... we just launched.

History of the HiFi product this was built up from here: http://blog.roonlabs.com/what-a-journey/

I always wanted to post our product on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7629177 "My Quest to Build the Ultimate Music Player" We solve almost every concern posted, especially about music metadata organization.

Any questions? We want to hear your issues with music software.


lacks offline mobile support :-(


This is something can consider for a future release. Do you mean offline message storage, so you can look at discussions offline?


I want to see some (or a lot of?) chat history offline, and then send msgs while offline. I don't want it to scan the network, delay loads, or blow up in any way just because the network is down. Think about the Whatsapp or Telegram experience, as opposed to Slack or Facebook Messenger. If you are in and out of the subway, or in elevators, or just where there are spotty networks, the mobile experience blows for anything but the super popular and consumery chat services.

Unlike the people who can't figure out why this is better than IRC, I find a ton of value in your project. After leaving Campfire, moving to Kato, and then settling with Slack, I am really unhappy with the Slack mobile experience.


Thank you for getting back to me. I'll open a feature request for this and see if we can fit it into a future release.


The owner of the github repo and myself worked on this for a while: https://github.com/blucz/Vector

It does what you said. We never took this anywhere, but it does work, and on retina displays, it's really pretty.


Wow that looks great, nice work!


this is not vim, this is some incomplete bindings implementation.
