cmd-fun's Issues

Wandered here looking for a solution

I think I may have found it! Solving Two Problems
https://github.com/elijahmanor/cmd-fun/blob/master/Link.js

Technical Problem: Couldn't render hyperlinks in Blessed!

Basically I have a react-blessed app, (I know you taught a course on that with EggHead!) that I thought I was rendering terminal links correctly in, but I either got confused in development (writing/debugging) in Alacritty, and viewing in Gnome-Terminal (to see the hyperlinks rendered correctly). I SWORE the links were rendering in Gnome Terminal, but alas I fired it up and bummer, no links. Either I imagined it worked before, I changed something I can't nail down in the git history, or Gnome Terminal updated. In either case, it wasn't even supposed to work because Blessed doesn't passthrough hyperlinks

Life Problem (don't worry no cringe)

I spent 8 months of my life hacking together a Week in Ethereum News reader app, which I'm hoping to use as a portfolio piece to get my dream job (by contributing to the community). I had it perfect, assuming I had hyperlinks. But without (current state), long URL's riddle the screen making it useless... I thought maybe I could modify Blessed to passthrough the hyperlinks... nope... very very nope... Looks like you found a work around in this repo! Yay!
