Codex and I have been building a TUI library called Pat for PHP 🫶 Got the core elements, z-index stacking, diffing, performance all in place. Now need more elements, nicer designs, better DX 👌 One day!

Nicely responsive too and pretty performant 👌

Modals can now dim the background (oh and there's a diff element now) 🫶

Literally Ashley

Not even launched the SaaS i built at the weekend 🤫

how do you have the time?!

fuel add "make me a tui" fuel consume 😅 (also, I'm half way through recording a course on how to build incredible TUIs, and I'm procrastinating on it because of perfectionism)

so you’re telling me that i can finally drop rust for my TUIs??? 🤯 Such a masterpiece, dude 😍🎉

Once I release Pat, absolutely! Thanks man 🫶

@danielhe4rt Any ETA on that?

Sometime in the next week or two I'd guess

We're finally getting close to what people believed our terminals looked like in 90's action movies.

But what a beautiful thing

What the... 🤯

Goodness gracious 🤯

Thats frigging beautiful

Thank you! 🫶

Looks fantastic!

You're killing it my man 🙌 frickin awesome

Now this is something cool I have seen in a while!

This looks dope!

🫶 Cheers!

Holy ncurses! Do you have a repo? Would love to nose around and see how it works

Soon! 🙌

Can’t wait! 👀 TUI’s get me all jiggly. Imagine combining that with PHPacker!

Are you liking Codex more than Claude Code these days?

Sometimes! I had written Codex off completely, but gpt-5.2 for planning, and gpt-5.2-codex for executing huge tasks has been kind of incredible lately 🤯 I prefer the models to the TUI/agent - CLI wise I reckon it's still opencode > amp > claude > codex | cursor > gemini 😬

This looks so nice!

This looks amazing!

You cooked

It's like seeing the path that @kmdrfx took when he was building opentui, great work!

You re the dude that was streaming video to terminal the other time yea? Well. Not surprised.

Beautiful! 🙌

The tools for My dream. Make a foxpro interface with php and postgresql.

I need access to this library for a thing. omg, please. Also, we should chat, cause you'd really enjoy the things I'm trying to make possible

Need to start calling you PHP Dax

I'll build another one in go and Typescript so I can be 'Northern Dax'

Get yourself a North Face jacket and you can be North Face Dax

How much?!? 💸 I'll settle for PHP Dax 😉

So... What does it actually do?

Open source?

Soon!

wtf! 🤯

Damn ... I've been working on something similar for monthes, but kept failing pretty hard on the z-layering thing. Made some "form" capacities with tab navigation, live validation, too. had no goal in mind, but that was fun ...

Would love to peek under the hood and start contributing!

You had me at "TUI".
