  • darkdraw

  • I was trying this with VisiData and the DarkDraw[0] .ddw format, which is JSON and similar structure to what you describe. The problem is that 80x24 is no longer an adequate terminal size, and so simplistic row/column layouts like this can't work to make the form look good. You need "center this text" and a way to put multiple buttons in reasonable places. You could use floats as column/row to indicate fractional position within the window; but then these still need to be the center of the element, and not the start, for it to look good.
