tui-realm is a framework for Ratatui designed to simplify the development of terminal user interfaces.
Inspired by React and Elm, it lets developers build reusable components with properties and states.
Components communicate with the user interface engine through messages and events, while a View handles mounting, unmounting, focus, and event forwarding. The project also provides a standard library with convenience wrappers for Ratatui widgets.
This is free and open source software.
