Yeah, these are both great ideas. I was inspired to use web technologies for building the UI by this discussion (https://lobste.rs/s/vrb7qh/web_as_gui_toolkit https://lobste.rs/s/vrb7qh/web_as_gui_toolkit). Ultimately, I want to port Fig to Linux and Windows, so having a UI layer that works cross platform is useful. But it would be very cool to enable access to native UI directly. (I'd love to chat with you about how this could work.) Outputing to stdout and stderr doesn't happen right now, but is on the very near term roadmap. The ultimate goal is for web apps to slot in seamlessly to shell workflows, so getting this right is really important. Thanks for your comments!
