Coincidentally I'm working on my own TUI framework for my book [1], so it's always interesting to see how other people approach it. I wouldn't, for example, use windows and drop-downs in the terminal; I think there are better approaches. Some of the most interesting text-focused UI experiments are taking place in Emacs and Vim, so that's where I'm taking inspiration from. My framework is demonstrating the capability-passing approach to effects, which is the underlying architecture in most modern JS frameworks, Jetpack Compose, and "immediate mode" toolkits (though the authors are not necessarily aware of capability-passing as a concept). If you've read recent posts on "algebraic effects" or "effect handlers" it's in the same space. It makes for a quite pleasant user experience. I'm enjoying the work uniting theory and practice; one of the benefits of writing the book is I can justify these excursions. | ||

This looks really nice in the screen-shots. I'm working on what is effectively a fork of prompt_toolkit [1], which supports many modern terminal features I needed for euporie [2], such as terminal graphics, extra text styles, color palette detection, terminal clipboard, synchronized outputs, CSI-u, mouse pixel positioning, etc. I'd be very interested to test it's performance and to read your code (I'm not an AI, promise :) [1] https://github.com/joouha/euporie/tree/dev/packages/apptk | ||

This looks beautiful and I'm sorry the current state of affairs has made you not want to publish the code, I would love to play around with it. Regarding your decision to build - I feel you, I've had the same happen to me for everything from charting libs to various web components. As an aside, I really like your web page - simple and clean with images and demos, no bloat. | ||
