Writing a cli app also needs some good-looking UI but it's annoying to do this manually. I tend to write cli apps with TUI libraries, like Cursive, termion(termion is bindless so it can work without ncurses installed, that's awesome!).

So why not introduce them in our cli book? I would like to help write this chapter. A useful link: Making Terminal Applications in Rust with Termion

Sorry I just found rust-cli/team#4 . Sad.

I think there is definitely potential for good TUI documentation and maybe some words on interactivity in CLIs.

We originally considered TUIs out of scope for the working group (because there was already so much stuff to do and we only had a limited number of people helping out) but that doesn't mean they necessarily need to be out of scope for ever.

I feel we could definitely re-start some kind of discussion on either a TUI-book or an appendix in the CLI book about TUIs
