It’s sad to see textualize.io close the doors, but textual is still alive and maintained as a n open source project. I tried to use it very early, and struggled, this was before docs and tutorials really existed, before a lot of the widgets and components existed. Then as we all do I got busy and moved on to other things in life and did not have the capacity to build TUIs.

As awesome as tui’s are, they are more effort to build, and less automatable. I feel like the first stage into automation of a project really needs to be a good cli, and this is often good enough for the project and I move on.
