Giggles – A batteries-included React framework for TUIs
i built a framework that handles focus and input routing automatically for you -- something born out of the things that ink leaves to you, and inspired by charmbracelet's bubbletea - hierarchical focus and input routing: the hard part of terminal UIs, solved. define focus regions with useFocusScope, compose them freely -- a text input inside a list inside a panel just works. each component owns its keys; unhandled keypresses bubble up to the right parent automatically. no global handler like useInput, no coordination code - 15 UI components: Select, TextInput, Autocomplete, Markdown, Modal,…

In plain words
Giggles is a React framework for building terminal user interfaces that automatically handles focus management and input routing across nested components. It includes 15 pre-built UI components like text inputs, selects, modals, and code blocks, along with hooks for spawning and streaming processes. Developers can define focus regions and compose components freely without writing coordination code, as unhandled keypresses bubble up through the component hierarchy automatically.

Prompt AreaJul 2026 · prompt-area.com · ▲24Hi HN, I built Prompt Area — a contentEditable rich text input component for React, designed specifically for AI chat interfaces. The problem: if you're building an AI chat UI, your input needs @mentions (to reference context), /commands (to trigger actions), #tags, inline markdown, file attachments, and undo/redo. Existing options are either too limited (react-mentions only does mentions) or massive overkill (Tiptap, Lexical, and Plate are full document editors built on ProseMirror/Slate — way too heavy for a prompt input). Prompt Area sits in the middle. It uses a…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
