Gooey: A GPU-accelerated UI framework for Zig
> Inspiration
> GPUI - Zed's GPU UI framework
Cool, but a comparison would also be very helpful.
If I decide to make a GUI app with Zig, how do I choose between Gooey and GPUI?
So far, all I know that GPUI is more mature and has at least one successful project built with it, so...

Fang, the CLI Starter Kit
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

Gooey: Turn almost any Python command line program into a full GUI application
Hey! Cool project! I have a question: why do you dump out sys.argv to a local file in the CWD? [0] tmp.txt is hardly a unique name… or am I missing something and this never triggers?

Python GUIs
I love gooey: https://github.com/chriskiehl/Gooey
It allows me to quickly slap a GUI on an existing script that accepts command-line-arguments. In the end, I get the best of both world: Discoverability from the GUI, automation through the script, and automatic feature parity between the two.
Downside: Control over the GUI layout is basic, and only "standard" GUI features work, but I never felt limited when using it.
