    The Readme for a UI library benefits enormously from screenshots, even terminal based UIs.

      I second that, even better would be if every type chart would be a folder, with a readme containing a screenshot and the code example. That would be top notch.

      PS: looks great on the surface!

        Next updates will include better docs and many screenshots/examples, thanks!

      Screenshots added for all widgets :) Flex layouts were added too!

    This project has made me think about more about the difference between TUI's and "command-line" (CLI) apps as categories. Traditionally CLIs were kind of run-and-exit tools, and "real" TUIs were long-running, stateful apps, but what we're creating seems to sit somewhere in between the to.

    With richer terminals and libraries like this, the distinction feels more about interaction style than environment. Curious how others think about that boundary when designing tools that work in terminals.

    As a FYI, you removed the original author's name from your license information. Per the MIT license, you need to preserve their copyright in your fork

      Genuinely curious. Do you actually open the license file on all repos posted to HN?

        Not every one, but if it looks like something I might use, I do take a quick look at it and any upstream it came from. It keeps me from using something when I shouldn't and have to rip it out later.

    Think tabs widget would look better if it was more like a text area in appearance. Tab title should be connected to its content.

      Agreed, tabs widget needs work, I will try to get into the next release! Thanks!

    It is interesting that suddenly the Terminal UI became popular. I am super happy to see this kind of thing pop up.
