The text mode lie: why modern TUIs are a nightmare for accessibility
The mythical, it’s text, so it’s accessible There is a persistent misconception among sighted developers: if an application runs in a terminal, it is inherently accessible.

The ’Hidden’ Costs of Great Abstractions
In the world of computing, we tend to abstract away complexity. Doing so seems liberating. It enables us to focus on the bigger picture.

Why TUIs Are Back
Terminal User Interfaces (TUIs) are making a comeback. DHH’s Omarchy is made of three types of user interfaces: TUIs, for immediate feedback and bonus geek points, webapps because 37signals (his company) sells SAAS web applications and the unavoidable gnome-style native applications that really do not fit well in the style of the distro.
