Hey, I'm James, the creator of Bijou. Welcome! Let me show you what I got and give you a tour of v5.0.0, which was relesed recently.

There's actually a lot more to it than what I fit in this video:

• MCP service so your LLMs can use Bijou to display TUI-like output in their chats
• An optional "batteries-included" layer-based application state and input router/handler that supports modal dailogs, notifications, mouse input, help, quit confirmation, and many common "app-like" boilerplate. Handy if you just wanna get something up and running real quick
• Full-blown design philosophy in the repo docs

Enjoy! If you give it a shot and make something cool with it, please share what you make!
