alt Hacker NewsReact, the framework, is separate from react-dom, the browser rendering library. Most people think of those two as one thing because they're the most popular combo.
But there are many different rendering libraries you can use with React, including Ink, which is designed for building CLI TUIs..
Anyone that knows a bit about terminals would already know that using React is not a good solution for TUI. Terminal rendering is done as a stream of characters which includes both the text and how it displays, which can also alter previously rendered texts. Diffing that is nonsense.
