I appreciate this, but I'm not concerned with the capabilities of the terminal or the GUI. What would be unhelpful, to me, would be to build a TUI because then if I wanted to send the actual app state to - for instance, a web browser which runs the library in WASM - the only way would be to pipe the terminal output across the shared buffer, instead of just blitting the app/editor state into it (or the relevant messages, like CRDTs).

Contrast that with a library: I could capture the inputs from any source - browser, native app, network, etc - work with the data using the single library, and then render the result in whatever client (or as many clients) as I wanted.

That's fair enough!
