Excited to try it out as well. I often need to build simple CLI based apps in ruby so often would reach for TTY Toolkit: https://ttytoolkit.org/

However, I feel like it's in maintenance mode at this point, so glad to see some new options available.

It looks great overall, but the example browser is something really special! Never seen such detailed walkthroughs before.

Landing page is great: informative, visual example, clear code example. Love it

Living the 80s, I guess the current nostalgia wave across tapes, portable CD players, Vynil and co, also applies to computer interfaces.

I just made a new installer for Discourse on CharmRuby, now I gotta check this out and see if porting is feasible. Hopefully this reduces the app size, that is quite large with CharmRuby

Thank you for enabling my Ruby addiction. This looks amazing. Great work!

Looks exciting!

Does it have proper support for opening an external editor (via $EDITOR like nano, vim, etc?)? I ran into issues with that in Ink and had to switch over to Bubbletea, but I'd love to use Ruby instead of Go

I can't like this enough, Ruby is perfect language for TUI apps and emergence of TUI apps is really welcome change.
