@orhun I'm a Go meetup organizer. Not a big meetup, but anyway, one of the participant, very quiet, told me about a toy library he was experimenting with.
I told him he should present it.
It took me a few meetups to motivate him to show it. He was very shy and unsure of it all. The code is not good, bla bla bla.

And that guy showed us a frigging demo with windowing system in TUI, with window resizing, picture viewer with double the "pixel" size with a trick of using background color + foreground color on the same character, etc etc.

I was so angry that he kept this away from the world for so long. It was incredible. I'm still not sure he published it/shared. I need to ask again. I would share some screens.

People are amazing and they don't even know it.
