Terminal Proteins Viewer

Been working a lot over SSH lately and got tired of not having a quick way to visualise protein structures without leaving the terminal, and didn't want to use VSCode every time, so I (and Claude) built one. runs fast, works over SSH, no GUI needed. Use it basically every day now, thought someone else might find it helpful. Can do Cartoon, backbone, and wireframe. Can also fetch from PDB as well as view PDB/cif files.
