I mean, if you look visually it looks like it's working. Once I tried interacting with it, everything is broken in a subtle way. Website has the same vibe, it has nav bar, it does it's thing, but it's broken in many different ways (media breakpoints, animations, etc).I think companies who buy software by feature checklists would love this sort of products.

On the other hand, I think this would solve Claude Code's current problems with their React-rendered terminal app.by SPICLK2

It'll be still broken as it'll be claude bugs + frankentui bugs.by haute_cuisine

I love TUIs and spent some time exploring the project. I guess you posted it here to hear some feedback.The landing page compares it to xtermjs as superior version. What I find strange, for example, FrankenTUI has a code explorer tab, but it's impossible to select any text or interact with a scrollbar. The "hotspots" section in the codeview misinterprets mouse clicks, highlighting line that is different from a click.
If it meant to be keyboard-first, I find focus management implementation unintuitive and shortcuts hard to discover.
