Use ratatui in all my tooling, it’s great. Very simple immediate mode api that eschews most of the complex framework insanity.
Do you have any public examples of your real-world projects?

#62Earlier quoted context omitted.
For me all of them have Turbo Vision for Turbo Pascal 6.0 in MS-DOS, circa 1990, as baseline to beat. Or the various Clipper based TUI for business data entry, as another example. Since they are catching up with the past, they should improve upon it, not just revisit it.
Core Ratatui dev here. Fun fact, I played a lot with these libraries when I was in a kid in the 80s/90s learning Pascal and C++. I never played with clipper though.
I'd recommend looking into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framework_(office_suite) for conceptual inspiration.
Because it did this on flicker-free(for the day) Hercules/MDA monochrome graphics.
I've experienced this 1st-hand while snobbishly commenting on that textmode stuff, while seeing friends dads working in their home-office, or sometimes in the living room on 'luggables' or early laptops, while myself enjoyed an ATARI-ST at the time.
They shut me up rather good. Wizards.

#63Discord though...? :/
There's also a matrix bridge and Github discussions if you'd prefer those options. It's difficult to choose a place to build a community - particularly ones that are non standard so Discord works for us right now. Have you got suggestions on other services that would work better for this sort of thing? Seeing examples of thriving developer communities in places other than Discord would help convince people that it's worth changing.
