Roadmap

• [ ] ⚡️ Performance
  • Right now there are known performance issues surrounding the rendering of the tui at each tick interval and/or key press. Ideally each render uses the prior render as a base and only makes the necessary adjustments (possibly using StatefulWidget), but I haven't been able to figure that out yet.
• [ ] 🔠 Multi-language support
  • I decided not to launch thokr with languages besides english because of some odd rendering issues I was experiencing when trying to input characters with accents. It's as though I'm not able to properly input the character in raw mode. I'd love to have that figure out before shipping other languages because I personally felt the experience was a bit jarring. I'll open an bug report for it with more details and replication steps -- would love more eyes on that problem!
• [ ] 🧪 Tests
  • I've only written a small amount of tests at this point. I haven't sat down to really think through what tests look like when the output is dependent on the users terminal size, font size, etc. If you have any ideas for this please open up an issue and start the discussion!
