> Pretty sure you are a troll < OK, I'll come clean: I knew what Textualize is before I even evaluated toad, and have never to date found a Textualize app that "sparked joy" as it were. But I figured I should try Toad anyways since A) I strongly resonate with the problem statement of Toad and B) surely the creator of the library would create a best-in-class implementation using that library. Also,

I like keyboard control, but feel like Textualize is a mouse-first UI library. Pressing arrow keys when launching Toad does nothing because I'm not in a "control". As a user, I am supposed to intuitively know that "Recommended" and "Coding agents" are "different controls" and so it should be obvious to me that the arrow keys would not navigate between them?

You dedicate 3 lines to the "show in launcher" button and a "Go" button and say the one line at the bottom of the screen is "prominently".

No, the error message was perfectly clear! That's how I knew the solution. "Agent returned a failure code: 127 - /bin/sh: claude-code-acp: command not found" The solution is to run via npx.

$ toad run "npx @zed-industries/claude-code-acp"
Not a directory: npx @zed-industries/claude-code-acp

Anyways, go take your sabbatical, relax, you need it. I do genuinely want a better CLI interface for my coding agents and what you said elsewhere that the landscape is "like building a browser for a single website" is very true. Hopefully you come back with fresh eyes and can make a compelling offering in this space.
