Has a TUI implementation of this approach been considered? a lot of terminal focused situations may not have any GUI functionality but could benefit greatly from the runbook framework.

ellieh•3mo ago

Yes! Working on that soon, the same runtime can be used elsewhere. Wanted to start with the GUI so we could really make it what we want, but up next

1. TUI for interactive terminal runbooks

2. CLI for hands-off execution, CI, etc

That’s really exciting actually. I’d be curious what your thoughts on TUI frameworks are and which you are considering for implementation.

Thanks! Macroexpanded below.

Since the cutoff for duplicates is about a year (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html) and the most recent major thread was only a few weeks ago, I've marked the current post as a dupe. (Sorry ellieh!)
