You know, I might actually be decent at this TUI thing.
I spent over a week cobbling together a Qt GUI with Pyside6, QML and QtQuick, and while it was nice at first, I hit so much friction with the stupid toolkit, needing to wrangle my nice data classes back and forth with thin adapters to wrap thinly veiled C++ types and I hated it so much I ripped it all out in a blind rage, and returned to Textual, where this WIP UI for my new secret projet took shape in about 3 evenings, and looks absolutely banging.

And by three evenings I really mean "I woke up at 3am and dicked with it until 5am because I couldn't sleep and I have lost control of my life" It was made fairly easy because I had the foresight to really carefully separate my areas of concern and the CLI and GUI just share the same common domain logic, so swapping out the UI component is more or less devoid of side effects. Good times.
