Hi everyone, I built this TUI for jev with the main goal to make Jev immediately accessible and to be able to have decision templates similar to how we have skills for LLMs. Additionally I wanted to have a dashboard for our own software displaying the usage of Jev and being able to improve the decisions over time by giving jev feedback in the context. I really love the look and feel of early open code so this is what I went with. Please let me know what you think about it.

New dock and app launcher arrive while soaring memory prices revive scrutiny of a two-year-old firmware restriction

In those years I didn't find another format with the same balance of characteristics that STXT has, and I decided that was the time to resume the project. Since then, I've been revising the language, using it for personal projects, and today it's usable and stable. STXβ¦
