    • The first example in https://raw.githubusercontent.com/venantius/ultra/gh-pages/images/wiki/test-maps.png is a bit annoying though. The key :gamma is the same and the nice diff…

    • I've been using this for a week or so now. I wish I could figure out how to get colorized output in my SublimeREPL, but other than that, I can't say how much better this makes my…

  • Better stack traces address a major pain point

    From 1 comment

Requests

  • Add more colorschemes

    From 1 comment
    • Yep, pull requests for colorschemes in particular would be fantastic! It'd be great to flesh out a set of colorschemes to cover the major ones in usage today.

  • Demo recording with showterm

    From 1 comment
    • This looks really nice. venantius: you should make a fancy demo with http://showterm.io Although I guess its not that interactive. There should be more of these instead of gif…

Questions

  • Does it work with Cursive?

    From 1 comment
    • Clojure noob here - could this work with Cursive?

  • Does it work with CIDER?

    From 1 comment

Alternatives named

  • Cursive already offers colorized REPL and graphical test diffs

    From 1 comment
