@bomb.sh/tty is the low-level layout engine and input parser that powers our forthcoming tui libraries. think we can get this even smaller, but our baseline is now v0.9.0 at 113 kB (0 deps) compared to v0.6.0 at 830 kB (0 deps) @opentui/core at 21 MB (9 deps) ink at 7.8 MB (36 deps)

people were asking me what this is for 👀 basically it means we can assert against snapshots of the frames rendered to a term rather than a big blob of ANSI sequences. it also means we can build a player on top of it like this, which lets you go back/forward through frames and play/pause

new post on my personal blog. i think these three areas often go unexplained, so hopefully this explains why some of these packages exist. these are fine to exist but the majority of developers shouldn't have to pay the cost for them.

This is great news. A 3 way collaboration to "unfork" clack from inside astro. The same happened inside a few other frameworks in the past year too. So all of them now share the same dependency

bombshell @bomb.sh · 10/03/2026

@astro.build v6 uses @clack/prompts thanks to some help from our friends at @e18e.dev. Congrats on the big release! This is a beautiful full circle moment—clack was inspired by our work on the original `create-astro` CLI. Thrilled to finally upstream it! Open source is better together! 🚀
