TUI Studio brings drag-and-drop TUI layouts

TUI Studio is a Figma-like editor for terminal apps that lets you drag components onto a live ANSI canvas, tweak properties visually, and save projects as `.tui` files. It targets export to Ink, Bubble Tea, Blessed, Textual, OpenTUI, and Tview, though the public site still marks export as alpha.

// ANALYSIS

This is a genuinely useful idea: TUIs are powerful, but layout iteration is still too manual, and a visual canvas lowers that barrier fast. The sharp caveat is that the product’s own site says code export is not functional yet, so today it’s more of a design sandbox than a finished generator.

  • The built-in component set and absolute/flex/grid layouts make it feel closer to a real UI builder than a toy terminal mockup.
  • Live ANSI preview matters because terminal rendering constraints are part of the design problem, not an afterthought.
  • Multi-framework export is the real moat if they can ship it reliably, since it would bridge the fragmented TUI ecosystem.
  • Open-source distribution plus desktop, web, and Docker options should make it easy for TUI teams to try without heavy setup.
  • If export fidelity and round-tripping land, this could become the default prototyping layer for terminal-first apps.
