trace-moe-go VS bubbletea

I spend most of my day in the terminal but I couldn't find a simple terminal-based database client that did what I wanted, so I built one.

It's written in Go using Bubble Tea (https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea) and supports Postgres and MySQL.

It's minimal and designed for simple querying but I've been enjoying using it over pgAdmin, which I find to be very slow and a bit painful to use!

Built with Bubble Tea, the UI updates at 30 FPS for smooth animations:

Then, we execute the form's Run method. We won't delve into the implementation details here, but the Run method uses Charm's Bubble Tea library. Bubble Tea generates a model (the form's state) and manages that state. For more information, see the Bubble Tea Documentation

Most of the development time went into making GoVibes interactive and look pretty. Perhaps, that effort could have been better spent on making it cross-platform and functional, but again, I'm its sole user, so it doesn't matter. Anyway, I found BubbleTea, a library for building interactive CLI(TUI) tools in Golang. The library surely had a learning curve. It took me a week to wrap my head around how all things tie together. There are also a lot of prebuilt components(Bubbles) which makes it super easy to build a pretty, user-friendly TUI.

I've used wasm to write web applications in Go that run in the browser, both HTML applications (https://github.com/octoberswimmer/masc) and TUI apps using xterm.js (https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea/pull/887).

Well done! if you want to extend your CLI UI, check out Bubble Tea (https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea)

Been seeing lots of cool TUIs built with ratatui. Can anyone offer a comparison between ratatui and Golang https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea?

I've been wanting to get into building a TUI but can't decide which library to pick.

From Charm comes the new fun, functional, and stateful way to build interactive terminal applications. Bubble Tea is text user interface (TUI) framework built using the Go framework. Bubble Tea has been used to create all kinds of fun programs including ASCII movie art, a CLI for ChatGPT, ordering coffee from the command line, and loads more. Congrats to the team on shipping the big 1.0 🥳.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but there's Shell in a Box (see https://github.com/shellinabox/shellinabox), that can create a terminal on a web page, and expose an actual terminal application running on a server.

One thing that is certainly doable is also to use a standard TUI framework in another language (there are many of them, e.g. https://github.com/magiblot/tvision for C++, https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea for Go, etc.), compile it to WASM, and find how to bridge the WASM output to the browser (I've seen this: https://github.com/cryptool-org/wasm-webterm, but never tried it).
