I don’t want to be a curmudgeon, but why not just use CSS, HTML, React, etc. at this point? You could choose a style that looks like a TUI.

- nine_k 8mo agoBut will it render in a terminal over ssh? (I know, I know, port forwarding should work for a web app.)
- trollbridge 8mo agoIt actually will given the excellent quality of text based browsers now.
- nine_k 8mo agoAgreed. Another thing that gives the TUI concept an edge is the lack of formatting options: no way to make a font too tiny or too huge, very little leeway in implementing common controls, any excessive whitespace looks jarring, etc. Icons are limited to the common emoji. All this makes you concentrate on providing functionality first.
