Streaming response feature request. Any Update? #99

Can the output result increase the effect of character-by-character output, similar to the effect of the web version?

Why would someone want that? (Honest question)

@191338780 The API can return a streaming response, so I think it's certainly possible to get the response and manipulate the characters in some way to achieve that streaming effect, but I don't have a clear solution planned in my head for this right now.

@janiosarmento the value it adds (to me), is that you don't have to wait for the complete response to finish. You can already start reading the response. In practice, imho reading streaming text can feel a bit disorientating sometimes.

To conclude I think it would be a nice UX addition but since there are other features that could add more functionality, it is pretty low in priority to me.
