Great video, worth noting that the official library docs are amazing and worth checking out for those who's about to build their own terminal UI apps

Ok who is doing a rewrite of Ratatui++ i don't like rust.

[@joshka7634]

Perhaps you might be interested in PHP-TUI which is based on Ratatui? ;P

[@llothar68]

@@joshka7634 🤣🤣😂😂 Yeah, PHP the language of all dreams for console apps

[@timjrgebn]

Which language? Textual is popular for python, for example.
