Pretty cool (and the linked in the comments monodraw I’m buying today it looks great too).

I’ve actually been tinkering with a web app (as a test bed for various spec driven dev frameworks with Claude code) a wireframing tool for TUI apps. Conceptually similar to figma almost, infinite canvas and all that jazz, but has premade components for the Ink TUI library (idea would be to support a few popular TUI frameworks eventually) and you can just drag and drop and design TUI interfaces, then download the skeleton code generated by the app for the whole frame.

I don’t know how far I’m going to take it, but it works so far. A picture is worth a thousand words, a picture of word characters in a ui layout is worth something right?

I’ll probably open source it eventually, I doubt there’s much of a commercial market opportunity for it

Love this idea. Would be cool to have a wysiwyg for https://ratatui.rs

  • Yeah my thought was to eventually cover Ink, ratatui, charm (and bubbletea /lipgloss), and opentui

    It’s pretty simple to do this now with the frameworks you can use to spec work and execute on it with Claude code. I’ll keep chipping away at it and launch it at some point
