Show HN: Giggles – A batteries-included React framework for TUIs

Wait 5 sec.

i built a framework that handles focus and input routing automatically for you -- something born out of the things that ink leaves to you, and inspired by charmbracelet's bubbletea- hierarchical focus and input routing: the hard part of terminal UIs, solved. define focus regions with useFocusScope, compose them freely -- a text input inside a list inside a panel just works. each component owns its keys; unhandled keypresses bubble up to the right parent automatically. no global handler like useInput, no coordination code- 15 UI components: Select, TextInput, Autocomplete, Markdown, Modal, Viewport, CodeBlock (with diff support), VirtualList, CommandPalette, and more. sensible defaults, render props for full customization- terminal process control: spawn processes and stream output into your TUI with hooks like useSpawn and useShellOut; hand off to vim, less, or any external program and reclaim control cleanly when they exit- screen navigation, a keybinding registry (expose a ? help menu for free), and theming included- react 19 compatible!docs and live interactive demos in your browser: https://giggles.zzzzion.comquick start: npx create-giggles-appComments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47227171Points: 3# Comments: 0
