OMG that's awesome. I've been meaning to goof around with TUI CSS [1] but this looks amazing. Props to the author.

Maybe it's because I cut my teeth on 80s Turbo Pascal but there's something about the TUI that I feel hits an optimum in the simplicity vs use of visual space spectrum so, so lost in a world of Vulkan etc.

It is lost because we aren't producing executable files with multiple segments, jungling near and far pointers, trying to fit everything into 640 KB, while writing directly into the video memory.

Turbo Vision was great and one of the frameworks I am most found of, back in 1990.
