The only thing I think you're missing is that a browser is kind of a clunky dependency. It really wants you to use it for a certain kind of thing and although they can be tricked into doing other things, you and your users are always going to feel a bit of pressure to conform to the norms of the modern web.
So if you're trying to avoid the mess that is the web these days, a TUI is really your whole "everything else" for things that don't CLI well. So it's nice to be able to put it in a browser later on without having had to build it there in the first place.
- rollcat 3y agoThere is an easy way to write GUI apps that both look good and do not boil down to the lowest common denominator of 80s state-of-the-art: use something like SDL/GLFW, with an immediate mode UI toolkit on top. Lagrange (https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/ https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/) is a beautiful app that (despite my ideological purism in favoring more "native" solutions) I find perfectly usable and pleasant to use.
