#3This is cool! I wanted to do something similar a while back, but decided I want out of the term, instead of trying to bring more robust UIs into my term.
My goal was to have an editor, like Vim/Kakoune, use a window manager like tmux to provide more rich GUI features, such as popups and overlays. All of that in an ideally easy to use dev UX, making scripting information plugins intuitive and easy.
As mentioned, in the end I just said I probably want a GUI proper.
Very cool! :)

#6"Make sure to pipe the output to /dev/null when running this program. This is because the redox ransid ibrary
keeps spamming stdout..."
Signs of quality software.

It is hilarious.
If it has session save/restore, it can compete in the same space as screen/termux/byobu.

It is, at a breakpoint. Seems to be plenty of width at the point at which it expands to me.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Now I have to go read Frankenstein, so thanks for that as well. :)
