I'm actually way more interested in option 2 - the VNC-like experience.

TUI apps are convenient over SSH because they're right there in your terminal. But they suck because they're restricted to shitty monospaced character grids. Why can't we have something more like VNC over SSH? Like, `top` and `micro` but with good graphics?

I did try doing something like that with the Kitty graphics protocol and you can get kind of close..ish, but it's really restricted by having to send everything as PNGs.

Anyway upvote for not being blinkered and thinking terminals are just for CLI stuff and must be forever.
