Ready-to-Use UI Components for CLIs in Swift
Paul is working on building ready-to-use UI components for command-line interfaces (CLIs) in Swift. He is inspired by existing projects and libraries that aim to provide beautiful and interactive UI experiences in the terminal. Paul is exploring the use of libraries such as Rensborough's SwiftDISText and is interested in creating Swift ports of popular JavaScript libraries like Inquirer. The goal is to make it easier for developers to build visually appealing and user-friendly interfaces for their CLI applications.
