“Modern TUIs may support mouse events” hah! They already did in the 80s…
replyYeah, remember good old Norton Commander (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norton_Commander) - not that newfangled clone Midnight Commander, the original? Or the Borland text mode IDEs (https://ilyabirman.net/meanwhile/all/ui-museum-turbo-pascal-...), complete with windows, menus, buttons, scroll bars, file dialogs etc. etc.?
replyOh boy, that sent me down the memory lane hard. I also had to Google “Volkov Commander”, as that name sprung to mind immediately too.
replyNo, a text-based UI is not sufficient. It must also work in a text-only session e.g., on the CLI over SSH.
replyDo UIs exported from this tool not worknon CLI over SSH?
reply> That this tool can export to several TUI frameworks
replyIt clearly cannot. Have you even tested it?
This? Alpha notice: Code export is not functional yet. We're actively working on it — check back soon.
replyExactly, don't know why people are acting like actually makes TUIs, it's just a rough mockup of a TUI for now, with a convoluted figma-like UI.
replyI guess the headline and website was enough to get all these upvotes. Quite disappointing as someone in the early stages of making a TUI tutorial myself.
I've been juggling some BBS related projects myself that involve some TUI work over raw and web sockets that I've been working on... It's definitely a fascinating space and there's been a lot of relatively recent activity in the space.
reply> and there's been a lot of relatively recent activity in the space.
reply100 percent agree. I personally love what the openTUI folks have been up to. As weird as this might be to say, we're still in the early, early stage of TUI adoption.
