Are there any tools to convert a TUI into a GUI?

  When FoxPro made the transition to being graphical with Visual FoxPro, I'm pretty sure it took xbase programs that worked on consoles and made them work as a graphical application. Stuff like '@ 10, 10 SAY "First name:" that was originally written to display the string "First name:" on the 11th row (first one starts at 0) and 11th column of the terminal would now be translated into proportional pixel units graphically.

  Rich / textual let you stream a terminal pane to a browser over a websocket, you could then embed that in a webview, use a PWA, or use Electron to display it in app form. Please let me know if someone actually tries this! https://github.com/Textualize/rich https://github.com/Textualize/rich
