The binaries for 2.2.4 are now available - sorry for the delay. The new graphical mode is amazing IMHO :)

Very interesting tool for us CLI/TUI fanatics living on the terminal and framebuffer. And I know and tested a lot of them and the chafa ecosystem. Now fascinated with these ratatui thingys.

Thanks for creating the "-bin" PKGBUILD. Very useful to quickly test ptui on Archlinux.

I've so far tested ptui it on both fbterm (supports 256 colors) and the bare linux console. Not even starting x11/wayland. Runs perfectly with tmux. Runs perfectly oven SSH.

Not a bug or glitch or crash. Very straight forward and clear help with reasonable default keybinds.

Improvements to the PKGBUILD,

The github released tar.gz contains,

$ https://github.com/narbs/ptui/releases/download/v1.0.2/ptui-1.0.2-x86_64.tar.gz

$ tar tf ptui-1.0.2-x86_64.tar.gz

ptui
./LICENSE

At least the README should also be there. If you intend on keep improving the tool and pushin updates a "NEWS" or "CHANGELOG" would be usefull.

They should land in my computer at,

/usr/share/doc/ptui/README
/usr/share/doc/ptui/NEWS
/usr/share/doc/ptui/example.config.ptui.json
...

Use "install -Dm66" on the PKGBUILD.

Currently,

$ pacman -QL ptui-bin

ptui-bin /usr/bin/ptui
ptui-bin /usr/share/licenses/ptui-bin/LICENSE

You dont have to use the "-bin" on the folder name, "/usr/share/licenses/ptui-bin/". The PKGBUILD is named "ptui-bin", but the folder can be simply called ".../ptui/..."

Thanks in advance.
