Nostalgic Beginnings in Computing

Ratatui is a Rust framework for building rich--and incredible--UIs in the terminal. Bryan and Adam were joined by Orhun Parmaksız, who leads the project, to discuss the glory--as well as the ubiquity and utility!--of TUIs.

In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, our special guest was Orhun Parmaksız. We were also joined by slightly-less-special guests Andrew Stone, Rain Paharia, and Josh Clulow.

Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:

• Ratatui
• Orhun's blog
• Orhun's FOSDEM 2025 talk (YT) or (fosdem.org) with slides link etc.
• Minitel
• Minitel rust stack
• ratatui on Minitel
• Spotify player tui
• Discord TUI
• Orhun: tui-rs to ratatui transition blog post
• OxF: Oxide's ratatui based configuration
• tui-rs
• OxF: Describing the Oxide management network
• Ratzilla
• Terminal Collective
• tui web bub / art
• ratatui testing with snapshots
• rizzup
• tui-realm
• Asterion (game)
