 We released gum yesterday, which lets you enhance your shell scripts with a user-friendly TUI, complete with dialogs, prompts, lists, and selections. if you're into scripting or crafting immensely powerful shell one-liners, you should honestly check out the README, there are a ton of amazing examples: 18 comments
gum itself is merely a terminal/cli app and as such it's as good as the terminal it's being run in. @fribbledom tuis tend to cause problems with screen readers regardless of which terminal theyβre in That's sad to hear, but something that needs to be fixed in the terminal software itself. On the bright side, you can disable styling & colors in gum's output. I would suggest setting your TERM and COLORTERM env vars accordingly and it should behave correctly. @fribbledom it literally cannot be fixed in the terminal software. itβs like when screen readers try to read out blocks of emoji or ascii art. you canβt expect them to guess what your ascii art represents. @fribbledom but the particular problem tui causes is that they redraw whatβs already on the screens and screen reader software doesnβt pick up on redraws. to make it accessible i recommend testing with actual screen reader software and consider a mode that does repl interaction, with plain english descriptions instead of ascii art.  @fribbledom *ponders the text adventures that could be created with this* :thinkhappy:  @Jo @fribbledom Damn now I wanna make a text adventure with this :eyethink: ...how do I do that @hazelnot @fribbledom I mean, that's the challenge, ain't it? :blobhyperthink: @Jo @fribbledom I don't know enough about programming to be up for a challenge though π₯²  |
