It would be really cool if you Fang could generate a TUI form for you with https://github.com/charmbracelet/huh (by the same org). Is something like that on the roadmap?
Similar work: https://github.com/chriskiehl/Gooey and https://github.com/Sorcerio/Argparse-Interface
I've wanted to do this for my own CLI framework since 2023 ( https://github.com/bbkane/warg/issues/71 ), but I still haven't gotten around to it :D
