I'd recommend people also check out ishell https://github.com/abiosoft/ishell I've used it in a project before and absolutely loved the API + autocomplete functionality.

https://github.com/AlecAivazis/survey is a little bit better. I haven't compared it with promptui, yet, however.

rich cli prompts is an oxymoron, but I'm glad you support vim movement: https://github.com/manifoldco/promptui/blob/master/select.go...

I so much agree. There's enough dancing baloney on the web, we don't need it infecting the command line. Just say no.

Yes. Your software is CLI only if you can use it with a teletyper interface.

Not sure if gopher is the right fit.

In the post-JavaScript apocalyptic nightmare, the few remaining working terminals will be green-on-black CRTs with nuclear launch instructions burned in the screens. Gopher is a good fit.

Will we be able to install Node on those?

I've been dreaming with a sci-fi world where at some point the web get's so awful, that a small group splits to an alternate hypertext reality that is only text based.

Maybe in the same universe the overuse of VT control codes has led to command line to be actually line based.

Some people keep Gopher alive, apparently -- so maybe that's where survivors will take refuge after the JavaScript ad tracking apocalypse finally comes.

> green-on-black CRTs

Any source for something like this that is usable on a modern computer? I did a bit of eBay-ing and everything was ancient/incompatible and megabucks.
