## What it is
Ratty is a GPU-rendered terminal emulator written in Rust with Ratatui that supports inline 3D graphics alongside traditional 2D terminal rendering. It is inspired by TempleOS and features GPU-backed text rendering, inline 3D objects, and image support via the Kitty Graphics Protocol.

## Use cases
- render 3D graphics inline in the terminal
- gpu-accelerated terminal emulator
- terminal with image display support
- fun experimental terminal like TempleOS
- display 3d objects while running shell commands

## When to choose
- you want a GPU-rendered terminal with inline 3D graphics
- you want image support in the terminal via the Kitty Graphics Protocol
- you want a fun, experimental terminal inspired by TempleOS

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight terminal for low-end hardware without a modern GPU
- you need a production-grade terminal with extensive features and long-term stability
- you need a terminal for macOS or Windows since it targets Linux/Wayland

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: graphics, terminal-ui, gpu-computing, image-processing
- domain: developer-tools, graphics, cross-platform
- platform: rust
- tags: terminal-emulator, 3d-graphics, gpu-rendering, ratatui, templeos-inspired, kitty-graphics-protocol, command-line, linux, desktop, gpu
