Short-form software stories for your terminal

Fall 2025 Edition

Six programs, six issues

TinyTUIs #1

Winter Hush

A quiet, contemplative experience of ASCII snow drifting down the terminal. Catch snowflakes to reveal fragments of poetic text.

Terminal Meditations Interactive Poetry
TinyTUIs #2

Fragments.txt

A scrolling pile of half-finished thoughts and stray notes. Stitch fragments together into your own line, or let them pass by unread.

Text Collages Interactive Writing
TinyTUIs #3

Gutter

A comic reader built for the terminal. Panels appear in ASCII boxes. Arrows turn the page. Feels like flipping through a photocopied mini-comic.

Sequential Art Terminal Comics
TinyTUIs #4

Echo Chamber

Type a word. Watch it return to you bent, reversed, or scattered. A dialogue with a machine that can only mirror and distort what you say.

Language Games Interactive Poetry
TinyTUIs #5

Amber Light

A retro terminal glows amber. Logs appear like fragments of a lost diary, part machine, part memory. The screen hums with the feeling of old hardware.

Terminal Nostalgia Digital Archaeology
TinyTUIs #6

Caret Cuts

Single-page experiments. A word that unravels across the screen. Constellations that redraw with each keypress. Each one short enough to feel disposable.

One-Shots Experimental Forms
