🧠 Additional Notes

What's New:

  1. Enhanced CLI Integration: Added tui command to existing jobminer_cli.py

    python jobminer_cli.py tui              # Launch interactive TUI
    python jobminer_cli.py tui --no-mouse   # Disable mouse support
    python jobminer_cli.py tui --debug      # Enable debug mode
  2. Professional TUI Interface: Built with Textual + Rich libraries

    • Interactive main menu with visual navigation
    • Smart job search forms with validation
    • Real-time progress monitoring with progress bars
    • Interactive results browser with filtering
    • Professional styling with colors and layouts
  3. Zero Breaking Changes: All existing CLI functionality preserved

    python jobminer_cli.py list-scrapers     # Still works
    python jobminer_cli.py scrape [args]     # Still works
    python jobminer_cli.py analyze jobs.json # Still works
  4. Improved User Experience:

    • Helpful guidance when running python jobminer_cli.py without arguments
    • Visual feedback during scraping operations
    • Point-and-click simplicity for beginners
    • Keyboard shortcuts for power users

Technical Implementation:

  • New Dependencies: Added textual==0.45.1 and rich==13.7.0 to requirements.txt
  • Modular Architecture: Created tui directory with reusable components
  • Integration Layer: Built bridge between TUI and existing scraper infrastructure
  • Error Handling: Graceful fallbacks if TUI dependencies aren't available

File Structure Changes:

JobMiner/
β”œβ”€β”€ jobminer_cli.py          # Enhanced with TUI command
β”œβ”€β”€ tui/                     # New TUI components
β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ main_app.py         # Main TUI application
β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ components/         # UI components
β”‚   └── utils/              # Integration utilities
β”œβ”€β”€ requirements.txt        # Updated with TUI dependencies
└── README.md              # Updated with TUI usage examples

Benefits:

  • Accessibility: Makes JobMiner usable by non-technical users
  • Efficiency: Visual forms and progress monitoring
  • Flexibility: Choose CLI for scripting or TUI for interactive work
  • Professional: Modern terminal interface with rich formatting
  • Maintainable: Clean separation between CLI and TUI components

Testing Performed:

  • βœ… Traditional CLI commands work unchanged
  • βœ… TUI launches successfully and is fully interactive
  • βœ… Search forms validate input correctly
  • βœ… Progress monitoring works during scraping
  • βœ… Results browser displays jobs properly
  • βœ… Both mouse and keyboard navigation functional
  • βœ… Error handling works for missing dependencies
  • βœ… Cross-platform compatibility (tested on Windows)

This enhancement significantly improves JobMiner's accessibility while maintaining all existing functionality for power users and automation scripts.
