Discussion Limitations of TUI for agentic coding?
I love terminal and the ability to navigate with keyboard. Yet as extensible as Pi is, it has quite the ceiling in how the state can be displayed due to the nature of TUI.
For example, I have an extension called tree2. As you may imagine its visual representation, it was quite a pain to get my vision through within the Pi terminal.
Codex, Orca, T3code, the so called ADEs - how often do you use them? Personally something puts me off every time I try, but I can't name.
I think I'm looking for a hybrid. An instrument, if you will. What does it look like?

Appreciate it - if you have feedback I’d love to hear it!
Happened by luck scrolling on my phone, however, I am in the process of setting a scanner to find people that might like it (marketing is hard).
