TUIs make a lot of sense in developer tools. Not because they are superior (debatable), but because they keep you in the terminal which is (for better or worse) the ultimate developer environment. It’s simple, scriptable, remotely accessible, and enforces good practices (text based output).

@dreamsofcode_io Not to mention, you can just malloc() and write 2GB of 1’s to be on par with electron, so you’re not giving up anything

@CSeaseasiv I hate so much that electron is the direct association with a gui desktop app now. I hope we can bring back native.

@dreamsofcode_io But also no one wants to use the native ui widgets or look and feel, so they invent a new “optimized” ui…
