Bubble Tea is a Go framework for building terminal user interface (TUI) applications based on The Elm Architecture. It supports simple and complex terminal apps with a high-performance renderer, declarative views, and rich keyboard/mouse handling.

Use cases

• build interactive terminal user interfaces in go
• create a tui dashboard app
• write a command-line tool with menus and forms
• build a terminal-based chat or shopping list app
• make a full-window terminal application
• add an interactive cli wizard to a go program

When to choose

• you are writing terminal applications in Go
• you want a functional, Elm-style model-update-view architecture
• you need high-performance rendering and rich input handling in the terminal

When to avoid

• you need a graphical desktop or web UI rather than a terminal app
• you are not using Go
• you only need simple non-interactive CLI flags without a TUI
