I had a lot of fun doing this talk and learned a few things from talks by @jakubjares.com and @jborean.bsky.social that have already come in useful in my first days back at work. #psconfeu rocks!
🎨 Bored of plain terminal UIs?
At #PSConfEU 2025, @shaunlawrie.com showed how PwshSpectreConsole lets you build rich, interactive CLIs in PowerShell — fast.

I attended my second PSConfEU event in Malmö, Sweden, and had a great time again! In this (long) blog post, I will recap the four days and share what I saw and learned, the people I met, and things I did during that time.

So pumped to see my project featured in @shaunlawrie.com’s presentation at PSConfEU! Huge shout out to @andrewpla.tech for the photo and for being such a great hype man (and contributor)! This is definitely inspiring me to get to a conference soon!

I love copilot workspaces for things I need to start on while I don’t have a computer available. It may get some things wrong but it’s a much nicer mobile experience than trying to type in a code editor on my phone.
@github.com this type of interface in the native mobile app would be epic 👀

I need to learn to type faster, so I did the wrong thing and wrote a tool instead of focusing on the typing 😅

🍻 Thanks for the 25k downloads whoever you are...

Cheers for all the help with Sixel @trackd.x64.se, I still need to look at how Kitty can be integrated, I imagine it's similar.

Sixel is now in the main version of PwshSpectreConsole

Same. “This isn’t part of your job” when I would go the extra mile during performance testing assignments to identify the cause of problems.

I've thrown a couple of submissions in 🤞
Hopefully I'll be able to come hang out in Malmö, talk some #PowerShell and meet that @trackd.x64.se character who's been helping me out with #PwshSpectreConsole.

Am I pushing spectre console too far with animated gifs @patriksvensson.se 🤣

@jdhitsolutions.com If you install the prerelease PwshSpectreConsole module from PSGallery, use Windows Terminal Preview (it supports Sixel images) and import you #PSBluesky module from my fork it should maybe work...

Threading kind of working and image previews in the start of my TUI on top of PSBluesky. Learning a lot and finding loads of sixel rendering bugs 😆
github.com/ShaunLawrie/... if you want to take a look it's pretty messy @jdhitsolutions.com 🙈

Early stages hacking away at a PowerShell BlueKky TUI on top of @jdhitsolutions.com's awesome PSBlueSky module and @patriksvensson.se's Spectre.Console library.

@jdhitsolutions.com your PSBluesky module is pretty neat. I've been building sixel support into pwshspectreconsole.com so I'm using your module to get data for testing it, thanks! 😁
