paratui

Parascene for keyboard hackers.

Keyboard-first terminal client

Rooms, DMs, comments, feed, art browsing, and headless runs in one terminal-native shell.

`paratui` is a fast monochrome-first interface into Parascene. It is built for arrow keys, tab focus, fast room hopping, direct messaging, comment posting, image-slot workflows, and command-line automation.

What it does

Terminal-native social and image workflows.

Rooms and DMs

Arrow into public rooms, open DMs, type directly into the focused chat field, and stay on the keyboard.

Browse art fast

ASCII previews stay warm with neighboring renders cached so left and right browsing feels immediate.

Comment without mode switches

Scroll comments under a creation, move to [+ comment], type, and send.

Preview handoff

Open a full image in the host OS, jump to the saved file or folder, and keep the terminal flow intact.

Headless runs

Use the same project as a CLI for prompt submission, export packing, and scripted workflows.

Simple config

One canonical JSON config stores the bearer token, mute state, export path, and lightweight UI settings.

Example

Headless prompt run

paratui --api-key 'psn_...' --prompt 'orbital fungus' --title 'orbital fungus' --server mutations --method chain
