> The 256×144 px screen requires pixel-level rendering, which standard TUI libraries (ncurses, etc.) cannot provide. The proposed solution is an HTML/CSS rendering engine running as a background daemon — a lightweight browser-based renderer that draws menus, popups, and UI components.

Truly, a design only an LLM could love.



Why not use Qt-embedded, which is specifically designed for this kind of thing and works well?


They should just use Trolley[0] which will ship their TUI inside Ghostty.
