    How funny. I just spent the weekend AI slopping an FFI wrapper around notcurses because I couldn&#x27;t find anything else. This looks amazing!<p>Since you asked for ideas in a different comment, here&#x27;s something I put into my notcurses wrapper: grid and flex &quot;css&quot; layouts. Meaning the ability to say whatever.fixed(cols,...) and whatever.flex(:fr1) or whatever.grid(:fr1) and the ability to do a &quot;grid-template-areas&quot; style ascci art ala <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;docs&#x2F;Web&#x2F;CSS&#x2F;Guides&#x2F;Grid_layout&#x2F;Grid_template_areas" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;docs&#x2F;Web&#x2F;CSS&#x2F;Guides&#x2F;Grid...</a>

    This is really cool! It looks like Marco and I had the same idea around the same time, but we picked different TUI libraries to wrap. :-D<p>See also: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;git.sr.ht&#x2F;~kerrick&#x2F;ratatui_ruby" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;git.sr.ht&#x2F;~kerrick&#x2F;ratatui_ruby</a>

    I&#x27;m excited to take a look at this! Using Charmbracelet&#x27;s libraries for TUIs is part of why I learned Go. Ruby&#x27;s TUI story has generally been underdeveloped by comparison.<p>Also, Marco (library creator) was just awarded the Rails Luminary award![1]<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rubyonrails.org&#x2F;2025&#x2F;12&#x2F;17&#x2F;marco-roth-2025-rails-luminary" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rubyonrails.org&#x2F;2025&#x2F;12&#x2F;17&#x2F;marco-roth-2025-rails-lum...</a>

      I always loved Charm&#x27;s aesthetics and it really opened my eyes with what can be done with TUIs. But I never felt like I wanted to learn Go just to be able to use these libraries. Ruby is magical in it&#x27;s own way, so it just felt right to bring these libraries over to Ruby!

    Interesting, huge fan of charm and ruby.<p>Will definitely keep this in mind.

      Definitely just the beginning. Any ideas or feedback is very much appreciated as we build out these libraries!
