💻GoGo

Bubbletea is a Go TUI framework by Charm that uses The Elm Architecture (TEA) — a functional pattern of Model, Update, and View. It's part of the broader Charm ecosystem: Lip Gloss for styling, Bubbles for reusable components, and Wish for SSH apps.

Bubbletea works best with the Modern TUI baseline — truecolor for Lip Gloss styling, mouse tracking for interactive components, and alternate screen for full-screen apps. Its companion library Bubbles provides pre-built components for common patterns (text input, lists, spinners, viewports).
