TUI Studio

“Code export is not functional yet”

“you can’t actually export any code, so it’s pretty functionally useless.”

“Surprised how good it is but also surprised how much time it takes to get things polished.”

“The fact that this app isn’t itself a TUI is kinda telling”

“building visual design tooling for terminal UIs feels like optimizing for a shrinking audience”

“The app certainly opened for me. I don't know that I'd use it.”

“I'm not sure this visual design approach would save time vs simply prompting an AI agent.”

“it needs to be a complete UI framework across a bunch of languages”

“Literally can't click on 50% of the "clickable" stuff.”

“TUIStudio cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer”

“It might all be hallucinations anyways, and others report not even being able to open the app.”

“this is a cool idea lol but is a pretty nonsensical explanation of what you can even do with it”

“slightly disappointed at the lack of a direct Linux build for AppImage and/or Flathub”

“the actual product, the code export, isn't working”

“From their github it appears all the code is llm-generated”

“the software doesn't even make sense since you can't export anything”

“This is an excellent idea, I'm getting some old Borland vibes.”

“it's just a rough mockup of a TUI for now, with a convoluted figma-like UI”

“the code export isn't even working yet, which makes the whole thing feel premature”

“You can still design the layout. That’s useful, but not nearly as useful as they are planning.”

“There is a very valid use case for that.”

“This one is not very accessible, try using tab + arrow keys to focus anything on the sidebar.”

“The animation on the site lost me when it placed a button.”

“Mostly all the code has been written by Claude and ad latere.”

“This is really cool though.”

“The fact that even the preview isn't a TUI is just lame.”

“What is the point of having this if code generation is not functional yet?”

“The background ASCII animation is so cool!”

“why not just use CSS, HTML, React, etc. at this point?”

“The corners of the boxes appear in the wrong place in the cell.”

“Apple's fault that they didn't bother to edit the text that says "No install fuss"?”

“This is nonsensical, there is nothing textual about the UIs being shown here.”

“Gatekeeper blocks the app immediately.”

“I find it slightly annoying and disappointing that the blocks saying what frameworks it's designed to export to aren't links to those frameworks.”

“It completely misses the reason people like current TUIs.”

“it's trying to recreate CSS but in a majorly worse way”

“The website UI is unreal, I loved the idea”

“One of the most original ideas I have seen on HackerNews in the past few years.”

“Noice figma for terminals! Dude super cool idea, great job =D”

“it feels stable and complete as well”
