@aral im actually tempted to stick my current site at an archive subdomain and start afresh with kitten.

watching the latest video has got me excited to use it (and i dont normally like javascript, being a php dev (dont hate me ) )

@david That sounds like a much better idea :)

Let me know how you get on and ping me if you run into any issues :)

@aral I've got a weird tihng happening when running kitten locally.

But not sure if its my vim lsp/somet doing it.

First image is before saving, second is after.

@david Very interesting. First time I’m seeing something like that (but I don’t use vim, will test it out today). The only thing I can think of is maybe some sort of issue with the file system watcher? But, really, would be surprised if it’s something on Kitten’s end. It’s not writing to source files at all.

@aral ye I reckon it's my end issue. Tried both vim and neovim. I'll install nano and try that in a bit.

I'll do some investigating and let you know when I get to the bottom of it.

@david Thanks. Appreciate it + apologies for the hassle.

PS. Which OS are you running?

@aral so I must have hit a super niche thing. I'm using Tmux and was in a 50/50 split.

The issue doesn't happen when in a full sized pane.

I'll keep looking into issue but at least I can move forward

@david So not Kitten related? Or is there still a chance Kitten might be involved?

@aral no idea right now I'm afraid. I've never seen it before. But I can try and figure it out.

@david Just installed tmux and vim and tried to recreate but couldn’t. If you run into it again and manage to narrow it down, please let me know. My gut tells me it’s not Kitten related though :)

@aral it's when it tries to render the image. I've installed a different terminal (konsole) and now it's working in Tmux.

@david Aha! I do try very hard to detect sixel support and fall back to displaying an emoji cat instead but, clearly, not hard enough :) Which terminal were you using when you had the issue?

(And thanks for narrowing it down; appreciate it.) :)

@aral I normally usually use "kitty" terminal. Haha.

But also tried "alacrity" with same issues.

@david I’ll do a round of testing with different terminals today then. Planning on a day of fixing dangling odds and ends before starting a round of new dev next week so it works :)

@aral nooice.

@david Sadly, I can’t reproduce in Kitty (version 0.31.0), in Kitty + tmux (version next 3.4), and even in Kitten + tmux + split 50/50 + kitten running in :ter in vim (verson 9.1.393) :(

(They all fall back to showing the kitten emoji instead of the sixel. Running on latest Fedora Silverblue, in case OS is having some impact somehow.)

@david (Also can’t reproduce in Alacritty v.0.13.2-1, and Alacritty + tmux.)
