Yes! While there's nothing built-in for that, you have full control over when you enter or exit raw mode, so your TUI can support opening an external editor. The TL;DR is you need to call `RatatuiRuby.restore_terminal` before handing o

That's gotta be part of it. But I think another important part is how TUIs have important restrictions that lead to surprisingly delightful applications despite their downsides: - You don't have control over font size and your col

Every person I can enable to write Ruby instead of Go is a win in my book. :-)

Very significant. Nearly every commit has involved the use of one or more LLMs, as evidenced by the commit trailers. I would not have started this project without it, because I do not know Rust. Even the overall direction and architecture

Thank you very much. I am not proud of the AI slop code [0] it took to get RDoc to generate the HTML for those pages, but I am proud of the result! [0]: https://git.sr.ht/~kerrick/ratatui_ruby/tree/783a08eabe2

...? The article is literally about not using web components. FTA: > What would happen if we took the ideas of HTML Web Components and skipped all the JavaScript? [...] Okay great, we styled some HTML nested inside a custom element.

Thank you! I wrote the code snippets and picked the color palette, but the web design came by way of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46587284 And my wife, wonderful as always, helped critique the writing! My RadioMenu

Thank you! Please let me know how you find it. I want to make sure the DX is as good as possible.

Thank you! My first Show HN in 2012 [0] was an inline TUI (of sorts) written in Ruby [1], so this is a great day. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4017933 [1]: https://kerrick.github.io/google/

I recognized the need for this recently and started by documenting one [1]... then I dropped the ball because I, too, spent my winter holiday engrossed in agentic development. (Instead of documenting patterns.) I'm glad somebody kept

Yes. Over the last month, I've made heavy use of agentic coding (a bit of Junie and Amp, but mostly Antigravity) to ship https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev from scratch. Not just the website... the entire thing. The main library

HTML had custom elements before Web Components (the complex modern JavaScript & Shadow DOM thing) came into being. https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/WD-custom-elements-20160523/

Arguably, that would be misuse of the semantic meaning of "section." While <section> is nearly as generic as <div>, they should always have a heading of their own. The author's <swim-lane> already has a ne

I've had a lot of good luck with AI Agents also being able to read and meaningfully interprete .txt and .ansi dumps from RatatuiRuby's TestHelper module and its `assert_snapshots` [0]. For example, it was able to read the ANSI a

Yes. I was on a 30-day trial of Google AI Pro and I got a few big wins each out of Gemini 3 Pro (High) and Claude 4.5 Opus (Thinking) before my quota got reset. Then I'd cycle through Gemini 3 Flash and Amp Free (or paid Junie credits

Gemini 3 Pro (High) via Antigravity has been similarly great recently. So have tools that I imagine call out to these higher-power models: Amp and Junie. In a two-week blur I brought forth the bulk of a Ruby library that includes bindings t
