I've pushed a new version (1.8.0) if rich-cli with improved SVG support.
You can use this to export SVGs of code, #Jupyter notebooks, CSV files, and more.

Another day, another release of Rich.
v12.4.1 has a fix and enhancements to the SVG export, which should now work well with both light and dark backgrounds.
These are *not* screenshots of a terminal, these are SVGs exported from Rich.

Tweaked the Rich SVG output to look good against black and white backgrounds.
The default color scheme is now dimmed monokai, which I find is easy on the eyes, and stands out from black.
There's also a keyline to visually separate the terminal from the background.

Been taking some time to update #RenderEngine and now I think the latest version just needs documentation, testing and maybe a couple blog posts. But here's a look at some #Rich-powered progress.

Have you developed a neat CLI application with #rich (get it?) output and want to show some visual/interactive examples on your #Sphinx documentation page?
Let my new Sphinx-CLI-Recorder take care of that for you!

I got the backend going for a 2048 implementation in python and #textual I’m exploring textual today once more as I hope to integrate it into a lot of internal tooling I write at work!

Discovered an really nice Japanese restaurant in Edinburgh. Think I might put this on this list for Textualize company lunch. Also discovered I really like warm sake. 🍶🍣🍣🍣🍣

I finally finished writing up my highlights from this year's PyCon.
Thank you so much to the organizers, staff, volunteers, speakers, and attendees who made such a great return to in-person conferences possible.

Amazing work
So now I can take the network state - make it an SVG (already amazing) - then covert that with an API into a PNG
So now I can add the full capture as PNG to Tweets or Attachments or offer a PNG filetype

I hope to see these SVGs cropping up in docs.
Keeping images up-to-date in docs is a real PITA. With the SVG export, you could re-generate images of terminal output as required.
Full details in the release page.

I've released v12.4.0 of Rich.
This version has improved SVG export. Previously the SVGs that Rich exported would only render correctly within a browser. They should now be more portable. The design is also less opinionated.

#Python typing
Broadly speaking is it better to make a return optional, or raise an exception rather than return None?

- raise NotFound38.3%

Who should I follow that is doing interesting things with terminals? Not necessarily with Python.

A web facing textual app should have very low overhead. I don’t see why time to first render couldn’t be virtually instantaneous.
Internet is getting faster, but web pages seem to be getting larger and swallowing up any gains. Maybe Textual apps could be the antidote for that.

Watch this video about CSS on the web and optimising time to first render.
I used to eat this stuff up in my previous career as a web developer. But now I’m thinking about Textual apps on the web, and how they could beat a more traditional web app / page

This is how you apply a highlight to focused widgets. The CSS allows you to iterate on the design very quickly.
But if you want a quick TUI, widgets come bundled with default CSS. So it will look great with just Python.

Textual baby steps. More work on tab-to-focus.
Tab move the focus forward, shift+tab moves it backwards.
Just added the functionality to scroll a widget in to view so that the newly focused widget is made visible.

Going to put a new batch of hot sauce on at the weekend, but I’m worried I didn’t buy enough Scotch Bonnets.

I don’t know if you’re still considering this, but there’s this Sphinx port of Material for Mkdocs which is just killing it right now!
And jbms is currently working on a PR that greatly improves autdoc/autosummary.

I write some pretty decent Python �?� threads from time to time.
Now I have a system that posts my threads automatically to my blog.
So... You can find some of my old threads here 👇
Do you remember any thread from the past that you'd like me to upload?

Awesome to see the Windows Terminal team take an active interest in optimisation.
We’re finding the bottlenecks for Textual are in the terminal emulator itself. The #Python code can generate output more than fast enough.

Oh gee, thanks! well I mostly work on mkdocstrings these days, people can sponsor me to help maintain it, bring new features and maybe add support for other languages than python (hopefully more details on this soon ;)) my sponsors page is github.com/sponsors/pawam �?�
