How funny. I just spent the weekend AI slopping an FFI wrapper around notcurses because I couldn't find anything else. This looks amazing!

Since you asked for ideas in a different comment, here's something I put into my notcurses wrapper: grid and flex "css" layouts. Meaning the ability to say whatever.fixed(cols,...) and whatever.flex(:fr1) or whatever.grid(:fr1) and the ability to do a "grid-template-areas" style ascci art ala https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Guides/Grid...

Anything else meaning...? Ruby specific TUI library? I've been toying around with a lot of TUI's recently, landed on Textual (Python) for my most recent experiemnt, but Charm has been on my list to try out when I get a chance. There are also a number of other libs that will let you build quite robust applications in a number of languages (Rust, Python, Go, PHP, and those are just the one's I am aware of).
