“Modern TUIs may support mouse events” hah! They already did in the 80s…

Yeah, 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.?

Oh boy, that sent me down the memory lane hard. I also had to Google “Volkov Commander”, as that name sprung to mind immediately too.

Do UIs exported from this tool not worknon CLI over SSH?

> That this tool can export to several TUI frameworks

It 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.

Exactly, 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.

I 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.

> and there's been a lot of relatively recent activity in the space.

100 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.
