Comment on Show HN: FrankenTUI in the Browserparent

Comments

What’s the purpose of this nasty comment?

I love TUIs and spent some time exploring the project. I guess you posted it here to hear some feedback.

The landing page compares it to xtermjs as superior version. What I find strange, for example, FrankenTUI has a code explorer tab, but it's impossible to select any text or interact with a scrollbar. The "hotspots" section in the codeview misinterprets mouse clicks, highlighting line that is different from a click.

If it meant to be keyboard-first, I find focus management implementation unintuitive and shortcuts hard to discover.
