BROWSE FROM YOUR TERMINAL·λ 514
The catalog, in
your terminal.
Every gallery and every facet is a plain ANSI page you read with curl — no install, no account, no JavaScript. When you want it moving, one npx command plays any facet live, at your terminal's real size and color depth.
$ curl -sL https://prism.jeremyfhall.com/tty
On Windows PowerShell 5.1? Turn on Windows — plain curl is an alias there and fails.

01 / FOUR COMMANDS
From home page to live player.
Pages are stills that fit 80 columns and use only color and text — no cursor tricks — so they work over SSH, in tmux, in a CI log, anywhere.
Open the terminal home
Every gallery with its facet count, and the commands to go deeper.
$ curl -sL https://prism.jeremyfhall.com/tty
Open a gallery
One page per gallery, sorted by category. /t/help explains everything; /t/all lists every facet on one line each.
$ curl -sL https://prism.jeremyfhall.com/t/loaders
Open one facet
A still frame, what it needs (glyphs, colors, size), its parameters, and the exact command that plays it.
$ curl -sL https://prism.jeremyfhall.com/f/plasma
Play it live
The live player animates in real time and detects your terminal: truecolor to mono, braille and blocks or plain ASCII. Node.js 18+, nothing installed globally.
$ npx -y --package=https://prism.jeremyfhall.com/dl/prism-term.tgz prism-term play plasmaDrop play plasma to open the catalog browser: arrows to move, / to search, Enter to play, q to quit.
02 / EVERY GALLERY
One page per gallery.
Copy a command, or preview the page above exactly as your terminal will show it.

03 / GOOD TO KNOW
Made for real terminals.
Plain text and truecolor
Every page also comes as .txt — 7-bit ASCII with no escape codes, for grep, NO_COLOR, LANG=C, serial consoles and screen readers — and as .24 for 24-bit color instead of the default 256.
Page, search, save

What you need
- Any
curl— macOS, Windows 10+ and most Linux distributions ship one. On Windows, typecurl.exe(or turn on Windows above). - Color pages: any 256-color terminal.
.txt: anything at all. - Live player: Node.js 18+. Prefer a permanent install?
npm i -g https://prism.jeremyfhall.com/dl/prism-term.tgz
Rather click than type? Every facet is live in the browser.
