this allows for comfortable ergonomics IMO

not that it could be leaner for sure but i get the reasoning behind the tui rendering layer

comfortable ergonomics? you can't scroll up more than 50 lines before it starts to garble up text

i'd be ashamed of publishing software with this level of polish as a solo dev, let alone as the hottest multibillion startup on the planet

Hmm I thought this was due to me using tmux with claude-code, also it seems that `claude agents` doesn't have this issue.

By comfortable ergonomics, meant the forgiving and asynchronous input system. You can start typing, cancel, retry with previous input, accumulate messages while the agent is active. I don't know all TUIs but this is not common IMO.

Other than that I agree with you.

Literally every audio player or anything that uses threads.

good point, i didn't classify tui audio players in a way, they don't converse, they allow asynchronous effects and stacking, that said i might be lagging about these, last i used was mocp, any names i should check out ?
