In February I published a curated list of Awesome Ruby CLI apps with my aim to create more community resources. I want this to be a central place for Ruby developers to find great command-line applications. It has about a couple dozen categories with tools from managing git hooks, linting code to converting between data formats. I took a lot of time to research the list and make it useful. I want to continue to grow it even more in 2022.
As for the TTY toolkit suite of gems, I expanded it by the tty-sparkline. I also worked on many features in different tty components that I intend to wrap up and release in the coming year. The word completion in the tty-reader gem is one of these features. It is also long demanded and awaited by the Ruby community. I want to continue on the path of making terminal applications more visually attractive, intuitive and easier to build. I'm curious to see what's possible.

Later in the year, I created the minehunter terminal game inspired by the classic Microsoft Minesweeper. Its purpose, apart from obvious fun, is to demo how quickly you can put together terminal applications with a handful of tty components. Projects like this are an opportunity for me to see how well different components work together. I admit, I spent (or 'wasted'), many hours playing the game.
