I think TUI tends to be overrated. They're not very practical, and mostly end up as a novelty application.

Regardless, I respect the effort in building this - great work.

I disagree. I'm not a huge user, but there are many people I work with who want to work as exclusively with keyboard / inside a terminal pane as possible.

So there are definitely plenty of people out there for whom this stuff isn't just a novelty.

It also then simplifies workflow for those who are SSHing into a machine they have control over etc..

Well, if you're interested in something more lite-weight, I wrote

https://github.com/drorm/gish

which is a shell command that lets you interact with GPT with flags, pipes, etc. in a much more unixy way.

This TUI has some impressive features, like the bots and plugins, but I feel gish covers most of the use cases, specifically for software development.

I wrote a simple REPL for chatGPT. In case you are interested you can find it here https://github.com/Phat3/LLM-Repl
