Every website,
as a terminal.
totui doesn’t restyle pages — it reads the live DOM and redraws the document
as a character grid. Box-drawn tables, numbered link references, regex search, folds, a
: command line, and images rendered to ASCII. The real page stays alive underneath,
so links, buttons and forms still act on the actual elements.

Chasing the lights
Auroras happen when charged particles from the sun meet the magnetosphere. The best viewing sits between 65° and 72° latitude on a clear, moonless night.
- Check the Kp index before you drive out
- Give your eyes twenty minutes to adapt
- Shoot at f/2.8, ISO 1600, eight seconds
