I love this particular type of software, I have been considering doing the same in python/urwid, but I have had trouble thinking up which modules would be useful and/or interesting.

I would welcome suggestions of similar software, or modules that would be useful if implemented for this, just for something to read or think about.

Wednesday-Thursday-Friday looks like an excellent permanent pane for my tmux to have a hotkey assigned to. I'm always resentful at myself that I haven't figured out a way to replace ~/todo after 20 years of using (almost) the same environment.

We are forced to use a combination of Slack and Microsoft Teams at $megacorp. Slack CLI has always been lacking, and Teams is fairly new so I haven't even looked. Having a working module for these would probably get me from tire kicking to daily driver.

I am a unique butterfly and do not like needing a web browser to interface with the company. /s

Does it also work on small terminals (e.g. 80x24)?

Can't this be made more general and modular by creating a windowing system for terminals first, and then write little programs that operate in that system?
