Building Reactive CLIs with Ink - React CLI library
As you can see, cli.tsx also looks pretty similar to React's root file, but, it has something more to offer using meow library. meow is a popular library that helps you build nice CLI applications gives you access to create usage docs and handles args and flags.

How To Build a CLI With Node.js and React
You will notice that it is using meow to read the command and flags. Afterward, it passes the flags to the ui component and renders it. meow is a helper library to parse arguments. The text passed to meow() is the help text shown when you call create-micro-service --help.

Getting started with React Ink
Here the App component is being imported using a special importJSX command. Meow is a library that allows us to make interactive CLIs. Here look at the render statement. A React element is being created where the App Element is passed as the first argument (ie the JSX part of the element) and then cli.flags is an arrow of props that will be passed into the element. This is where the name prop is coming from!!!

Fast memory vulnerabilities, written in 100% safe Rust
> If someone plopped me in front of a rust codebase I'd be at the mercy of the manual for quite a long time.
This is not a representative sample of Rust. That's explicitly triggering edge cases which requires abuse of syntax you wouldn't normally see.
Check out this for something more realistic that anyone should understand https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/blob/main/examples/ca...

can I use "cargo install --git https://github.com/aabiji/muse"?
I also recommend:

for your further development
I also have a Rust CLI music project here if you want to have a look

Ratatui
There are apps that are built on ratatui that support mouse already including an example in the repo[1], and crates (and some internal changes to the buffer) to support iterm/kitty/sixel based images.[2]

Compared to TurboVision, Ratatui has a lot of missing things:
- Containers
- Dialog types (I'm working on this in https://github.com/joshka/tui-prompts)
- Higher order combinations of widgets (e.g. combine the scrollbar and paragraph)
- Menus
- Any event system (apps bring their own - we just handle display)
- etc.
- There's lots of things in TV that are provided as external crates (like editors, treeview, etc.)
The main thing is that Ratatui is at least right now, just the display side of things. Things to do with events or application shell aren't built-in. This somewhat stems from the immediate vs retained mode approach to the library, but this may change in the future.

Trippy – A Network Diagnostic Tool
The TUI is built with the awesome Ratatui [0] library (formerly tui-rs [1]). UX is certainly not my area of expertise and I would not have been able to create Trippy without this library.
