Terminal UIs (TUIs) for daily workflows
Polished terminal UIs for git, tasks, observability, and agent control - the tools that make the terminal feel like a real surface again.
TUIs went through a renaissance in the last few years (Bubble Tea, Ratatui, textual). The picks here are the ones I keep coming back to: agent observability (abtop, lazyagent, agent-deck), git (serie), task management (taskwarrior-tui), logs (nerdlog, ov), and reading (circumflex). All keyboard-driven, all installable as one binary.
