I've been doing a lot of development over ssh and have come to rely heavily on dvtm. dvtm doesn't reflow text on resize, so I decided to write a program to do that. At the moment it simply maintains a buffer and on resize prints out the entire buffer. The text is then reflowed by the controlling terminal (I am printing the entire buffer so that scrolling up is still meaningful). The problem with this is that it can be noticeable when the buffer is full.
I was exploring ncurses but found that to be non-suckless (reading in ANSI escape sequences, converting them to ncurses function calls which then prints out ANSI escape sequences seems...redundant). I might write a minimal scrolling library to gain the needed functionality without needing to explicitly handle escape sequences. It's mostly written in OCaml with some C stubs for functionality that OCaml lacks. -Niki
