  • bubbletea

    A powerful little TUI framework 🏗

  • It doesn't actually matter. You can use pointers for models, return the same pointer, and it will re-render fine. We do this for our CLI at https://www.inngest.com - especially for creating new serverless functions via a quick walkthrough.

    It's actually the `tea.Msg` that causes re-renders. Here's the code: https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea/blob/v0.20.0/tea.....

    tea.Msg is, in Redux land, an "action" that triggers some state updates and _always_ triggers a re-render, even if nothing changes.

    This is elm-like, but we have to understand the limitations of what we're working with: a terminal with no way of (nicely) updating elements in place. It's essentially an immediate-mode UI.

  • termdbms

  • One of my favorite TUI frameworks. I made https://github.com/mathaou/termdbms with it. A very pleasant experience.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
