## What it is
A Go library for building rich, interactive terminal user interfaces with widgets like forms, tables, trees, lists, and flexible layouts. It provides an application wrapper and extensive customization options for TUI development.

## Use cases
- build a terminal dashboard for kubernetes
- create an interactive CLI form with inputs and checkboxes
- make a TUI file browser in Go
- build a terminal-based chat or IRC client
- display navigable tables and tree views in the terminal
- create modal dialogs and menus for a CLI app

## When to choose
- you're writing Go and need a full-featured TUI with rich widgets
- you want layouts like grid, flex, and pages out of the box
- you need forms, tables, trees, and lists in a terminal app

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI or web-based interface
- you want minimal, unopinionated low-level terminal control
- you're not using Go

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: terminal-ui, gui, ui-components, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: windows, cross-platform, go, cli
- tags: tui, widgets, interactive-interfaces, golang, command-line, linux, macos
