(not sure where to post this...)

I had an idea there might be a TUI lib for typescript. A duckduckgo search came up with an article that described exactly what I wanted!
So of course I immediately searched for this fabled tui lib. A quick search didn't reveal anything, and npm can't seem to find it either! https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=Tui
Navigating directly to the npm package page reveals a 10 year old got repo with no actual code... (https://github.com/basarat/tui)

What the scuff is this world coming to?!
This seems to absolutely align with my experience of using LLMs

(Also accepting suggestions for typescript TUI libs that actually exist!)
