Alongside the Ruby 4.0 release last week, I published charm-ruby over Christmas, bringing @charmcli's excellent terminal UI libraries to Ruby.

A full TUI framework, reusable components, styled output, forms, markdown rendering, spinners, charts, and a lot more!

Demos below ⬇️

These demos are fully written in Ruby!

@marcoroth This is amazing, I’ve been jealous of Go having these for ages, being able to use them from Ruby will be so useful for me. Thanks for your work on this!

@semanticist yeah same here, until I decided a few weeks ago that I want to have it in Ruby too! 😅

@marcoroth You and I had the same idea at the same time, but picked different bindings to write! I'm glad to see both exist :-D
