tgv 0.1.0 release: github.com/zeqianli/tgv
- Rich CIGAR and base visualization
- Allele frequency visualization
- VCF and BED file support
- Mouse dragging and hovering
- Filter alignment

Now 90% of what I need from IGV can be done in the terminal.

Some interesting behind-the-scenes:

Come on Claude, I give you one more chance. This is just a simple refactoring. I wrote instructions in comments. I'll write a good prompt. I'll use your PRO model with MAX reasoning. You got it. No mistake.

Types are cool but how do I explain this

tgv is becoming so good. Next release gonna be epic.

On a side note, I stopped using AI all together a month ago (except occasionally turning on tabbing for boilerplate). I'm so much happier. Coding is much more flowy and I'm learning a ton. Vim motion boosts productivity way more than any AI.

Anyone uses marimo notebooks regularly? What do you use it for?

New tgv release: local cache!

tgv download hg38

Download UCSC reference genomes to a local sqlite db for much faster browsing. Awesome Rust tools (twobit, bigtools) made this simple.

I started tgv to learn Rust and building it has been unbelievably fun! If you wanna pick up a super fast and fun programming language, tgv is open for contribution! There aren't many bioinformatics tools built entirely by the community. If tgv can become one, I'll be so psyched
