Paint in Your Terminal

Published on · Last updated on

TIL that you can use MS Paint on your terminal. Ok, not MS Paint, but close enough. Just run:

uvx --python 3.12 textual-paint

That’s it, it’s as fascinating as it isn’t useful1 :)

Here’s what it looks like (at least in Ghostty): textual-paint.png pd: If you don’t have uv for running Python tools, you can use pipx, pip or whatever. Or just go install uv, I’ll wait

  1. jk, I can actually see a couple of use cases for this. But let’s be honest: in 99% of the cases we’ll use it for fun ↩︎
