Presenting DevTUI

20 March 2025

This announcement is somewhat unconventional.

A couple of months ago, I decided to address one of the biggest issues with POSH TUI - the need to properly preserve state between different models/views. To explore potential solutions, I developed a toy TUI app that combined several scripts I had on my hard drive.

This exploration project evolved into the first prototype of what I now call DevTUI. At one point, I realized that if I continued developing mini-tools for this app, it could become a terminal-based alternative to an app like DevUtils.

My personal goal is to generate an additional 1000 EUR monthly through side projects. This supplemental income would grant me at least two extra guilt-free days per month to pursue more ambitious ventures like POSH TUI.

DevTUI also serves as a testing ground for improving my knowledge of the BubbleTea framework. Insights gained here will accelerate POSH TUI’s development as well. These two projects have similar technologies powering them, but also same audience.

My current hypothesis is that DevTUI might help achieve my immediate financial target faster than POSH TUI could. This doesn’t mean abandonment of POSH TUI, but rather a strategic pause to establish alternative revenue streams.

As gratitude for early supporters, all existing POSH TUI supporters will receive complimentary premium DevTUI licenses.
