Introducing: yeehaw! A TUI Framework with Batteries Included (github.com)

yeehaw is a TUI framework with a full event routing system and plethora of built in elements.

Highlights:

• Actual Neovim can be used as a text editor element (or any other editor set in the $EDITOR environment variable). Likewise, any other TUI that outputs to the terminal can be integrated into an element.
• The color system includes an alpha channel for transparency. A color can also be set to gradients (position or time-based). Basically a yeehaw color can effectively be a neopet’s rainbow paintbrush if you want it too.
• Element ownership at a glance: TUI Elements are organized in a hierarchical manner while each retaining autonomy to change their ordering and position within their immediate parent. Events (keyboard/mouse/custom) are routed top down and responses propagate back upwards along the Element ownership tree. Simple elements are only normally required to have spatial awareness within the confines provided to them.
• The core element Trait allows for customizable event/response types enabling developers to create entirely new sub-classes of elements which can reuse the event routing system.

This project is not yet entirely stable, however it felt necessary to unleash this monstrosity into the wild at this point. Feel free to ask any questions here or on github. Also this is my first rust release, so please forgive (and inform me of) missing idioms. -bogz
