Use Bubble Tea to build a terminal user interface for IO.

Beginning with 9bbc01c, we’ve been using Bubble Tea to build a terminal UI in IO.

Pros
#

  • It’s cool.
  • A TUI can be fast and responsive.
  • A TUI can be made available securely over SSH.
  • Bubble Tea is a well-established framework with many examples.

Cons
#

  • In some situations, users might prefer a web interface.
  • Value (vs pointer) receivers have been awkward to use, leading to some internal duplication and forking of Bubble Tea components.
