Scrolling a long results list was laggy: every frame built a table row for every result, and ratatui then drew the forty-odd that fit. At the 10,000-file cap that cost 25-32ms a frame in release (69ms in debug), in attached and standalone mode alike, so a held key stuttered. The pane now slices to the page ratatui would show, by its own rule: stay where the last frame left off, pulled along only as far as keeps the selection in view. The table gets a page-local state and the page start is written back into the real one. The page is counted with the same page_of that PgUp/PgDn use, so paging and drawing agree, and a selection past the end lands on the last row as ratatui put it. Idle frames drop to 1.5ms and a keypress to 0.6ms at the same size, measured live in both modes. ratatui has no lazy rows of its own: the lazy_rows proposal was not merged and moved to the experimental ratatui-table crate, so windowing in the caller is the recommended approach today.
soulseek-rs
A Soulseek client for the terminal: a full-screen TUI, and a one-shot command surface built for scripts and agents.
Website: https://re-invention.nl/soulseek-rs/
Installation
brew install michel/tap/soulseek-rs # macOS and Linux, prebuilt
cargo install soulseek-rs # anywhere with a Rust toolchain
Usage
Run it with no subcommand for the interactive TUI:
soulseek-rs
Anything else is a one-shot command that runs headless. stdout carries records only, stderr carries progress, and the exit code carries the verdict:
soulseek-rs search <QUERY> # print matching files
soulseek-rs get <QUERY> # search, pick the best, download
soulseek-rs download <USER> <PATH> # fetch one known file
soulseek-rs download --stdin # fetch files listed on stdin
soulseek-rs browse <USER> # list a user's shared files
soulseek-rs serve [--follow] # stay online sharing, stream uploads
soulseek-rs whoami # confirm credentials and connection
soulseek-rs user <NAME> # a peer's status and share counts
soulseek-rs room list|say|users|listen
soulseek-rs message send|read
soulseek-rs shares list|add|remove|status|reindex
soulseek-rs config path|list|get|set
soulseek-rs portmap # test automatic port mapping
soulseek-rs completions install # tab completion for bash/zsh/fish
Add --json for newline-delimited JSON instead of tab-separated text, so
commands compose:
soulseek-rs search "rjd2" --json \
| jq -c 'select(.size > 5000000 and .free_slot)' \
| soulseek-rs download --stdin
Exit codes: 0 success, 2 usage or config, 3 connect or login, 4 nothing
found, 5 timed out, 6 transfer failed, 7 session lost mid-command, 1
unexpected error.
The full README documents every
command, record shape, flag, environment variable and config.toml key.
