VibeWorld: a shared world that runs in your terminal

[SorBalda]

VibeWorld is a shared world that runs entirely in your terminal, built with Bubble Tea and shipped as one pure-Go binary with no dependencies. You make a pixel avatar, walk a neon city with other people over voice chat that's baked right into the client, and when your AI agent "fixes" a failing test by deleting it, you take a rocket to the moon and scream about it into a sky the whole server can read. It's the biggest thing I've built with Bubble Tea, and I'd love to hear what this crowd makes of it.

This is insane, good job!

Two months later, VibeWorld has grown quite a bit, so here is one real update rather than a second showcase post.

Since the original post it gained persistent player-founded corners that grow the city map, a planet-wide chat channel, a shared moon mural visible from orbit, a multiplayer arcade, HELP flares, persistent rituals and complaints, a shared moon plant, and zero-install voice chat. The latest v0.17.3 also adds privacy-preserving world activity in the space view: lifetime visitors are deduplicated by network and stored only as HMAC digests.

The Bubble Tea side now drives a fairly large responsive state tree: nested space/globe/region/city/3D scenes, mouse hit-testing, real-time multiplayer events, overlays, animation, and audio state in one terminal app. Feedback on architecture or rendering edge cases is very welcome.
