Ratatui (and VHS)

Of all places, I found Ratatui from a post on Threads. It’s basically a really light fast Rust-based Terminal User Interface (TUI).

It has some VHS examples as well. I haven’t used VHS before so let’s see what that is about as we build out our own TUI using the framework with Google Antigravity.

Let’s start by cloning the GIT repo

I realized my local rust environment was way out of date

$ cargo version
cargo 1.74.0 (ecb9851af 2023-10-18)

so i did a brew install rust to update it to current.
