@shanselman The winget-tui app is built using Rust + Ratatui.
I've been contributing to Terminal.Gui lately and wanted to benchmark it against Ratatui. So I ported winget-tui to C# & T.Gui to evaluate feature gaps. It's AOT-compiled & does not require .net to run!

WinGet TUI by @shanselman is a beautiful TUI app and makes using Windows Package Manager (winget) actually fun. Check it out!

I'm loving how easy it is to build cross-platform TUI apps with the Terminal.Gui toolkit (https://t.co/ucGdMTWPx9). There are some swell new tools being built now that it's hit v2 and improving fast, thanks to @tigkindel:
* clet - CLI-lets for prompting with rich TUI: https://t.co/W8Uwypg9ab
* tuirec - terminal app screen recorder optimized for AI agents: https://t.co/n0vtQTtkhI
* mdv - A TUI markdown viewer: https://t.co/PtwnPx6jdq
* editor - A reusable text-editing TUI view: https://t.co/6LUoMxmlyV

Announcing `clet` - CLI-lets for prompting with rich TUI (full mouse/keyboard), typed inputs, consistent JSON output and exit codes.

Includes clets for: select, text, multi-line, file-picker, markdown, confirm, date, time, color, and more!

Works for humans and AI agents alike.

Works in all modern terminals on all platforms.

Install with `dotnet tool install -g clet --prerelease`

(Alpha release requires dotnet to be installed; brew and winget will work later).

Feedback appreciated: https://t.co/rnCLpTxDAc

Is there a supported upgrade path to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS on WSL yet?

[Tig @tigkindel]

Terminal.Gui v2.0 has been RELEASED.

Terminal.Gui enables building sophisticated console applications with modern UIs.

Thank you to all the contributors and users for all the hard work that goes into making this.

And thank you to @migueldeicaza for the inspiration and letting me carry on what you started!

Someone built a transparent Mario game that runs OVER IDE so can play while waiting for Copilot to write code.

Dogfooding Opus 4.7 the last few weeks, I've been feeling incredibly productive. Sharing a few tips to get more out of 4.7 🧵

Remote control is now live in the Copilot CLI!

Run Copilot on your local machine, leave it plugged in, head to the beach, and drive the agent from your mobile phone 😎

@scottw Hey Scott. I have learned a lot from your last two AI posts. Thank you so much for taking the time to share! A couple of the links in this post are broken: (counselors and compound-engineering-plugin). I found them, but wanted to let you know.

From my TikTok - non-technical family friends have asked me to explain Clawdbot/OpenClaw/Moltbot and agents in the context of what they use, which is ChatGPT

Incredibly proud of my daughter Jillian, a freshmen Astronomy major at NAU, who'll be an intern for a NASA Space Grant research program! She'll help explore 3 new telescope designs to improve planetary imaging across multiple wavelengths from orbit. https://t.co/NpnN6L8mMJ

I really wish Mark Kelly - a true patriot, a combat veteran who believes in defending freedom, and an astronaut who understands the importance of scientific research - had run against Trump in the 2024 election.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Traitor?

Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do.

[Kevin Harder @KevinHarder]

I’m grateful that at least some Republican leaders still believe that freedom and democracy are core to who we are as a nation, and refuse to appease cruel tyrants.

“American resolve is greatest when we stand with the victims of oppression and invasion.”

[Mitt Romney @MittRomney]

All know that a strong America is the best ally of peace—the world’s avaricious dictators of Russia, China, North Korea and Iran are hesitant to invade and brutalize in the face of 1) American strength and 2) American resolve. Our tepid response to Russia’s invasion of Georgia and Crimea surely contributed to Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine.

American strength is greatest when we have friends that stand with us; we must not let economic squabbles fray the bonds of our alliances.
American resolve is greatest when we stand with the victims of oppression and invasion. After Russia invaded Ukraine with hundreds of tanks and hundreds of thousands of troops, America - together with Europe - rallied to give Ukraine the weapons and aid to defend itself. Three years later, Russia continues its brutal assault. We must not let personal squabbles weaken our resolve to stand with the freedom fighters and to oppose the authoritarian aggressors.
Lasting peace will only be achieved if America demonstrates strength and resolve and if Ukraine is certain that it will not be invaded again. Anything short of that would elicit only temporary celebration; it would open the door to global conflicts that we may be unable to contain.

[Kevin Harder @KevinHarder]

I’m grateful that at least some Republican leaders still believe that freedom and democracy are core to who we are as a nation, and refuse to appease inhumane despots.

“To the dismay of those who support freedom, the world is turning toward the appeasement of dictators.”

[George W. Bush Presidential Center @TheBushCenter]

America First should not put Russia second. For the good of both countries and for the cause of freedom, it is vital that the United States and Ukraine get back on track.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

[Kevin Harder @KevinHarder]

I stand with Ukraine. and the truth that Russia is an invader and Putin is a ruthless dictator. I am deeply ashamed by the disgusting and obscene behavior of Trump and Vance. Americans support Ukraine, freedom, and the fight against tyranny.
