       | I'm the author of Rich, a Python library for fancy formatting in
       | the terminal. Textual is a framework I'm building around Rich for
       | creating terminal applications. It's powered by async and borrows
       | a number of techniques from web development.
       | 
       | It's still in active development, but it has reached a point
       | where you can play with it. The most recent release adds a tree
       | control which you can use to navigate a directory and pick files.
       | 
       | My hope is that a Textual UI will be at-least as easy to write as
       | a command line interface, and projects will grow a --tui switch
       | to launch an interactive app.
       | 
       | There's already an app using Textual:
