I think of tui as “text user interface” and use it as a broad category but mostly for more advanced clis that have a graphical quality to them despite being text based, such as ranger or slack-term. Some tuis even have mouse controls!

A cli is a ui. I know that’s pedantic but this is Linux memes

Advanced users would still benefit from good design.

Ui designers should not presume people are familar with the ui. That’s not design.

It’s is not either or. Also good cli require an eye for design just like gui. Lots of cli suck because there is no eye.

The difficult part about making software isn’t the code part really. It’s actually figuring out what the problem is that needs solving and then marshaling the resources to solve that problem.

People don’t need a bespoke habit tracker app. General solution platforms exist. But then the problem becomes maintaining them.

And generally software is considered non capital intensive. It’s relatively cheap, you mostly just need to pay for labor unlike building hardware where you have physical logistics and resources to account for.

Linkblocks needs some branding work.

My guess is that ultimately it’s to help deflect spam requests. Team is probably the ultimate decision makers but they need some way of defusing the onslaught of requests. I think dedicated user feedback platforms are usually better for that sort of thing but that’s additional service maintenence and they probably want to use github as much as possible for everything.

It only has 60 days and who is regularly browsing feature requests to up vote?
