Ito launches an interactive workshop for terminal UIs in Lua
What happened
On October 15, Hacker News featured Ito, an interactive workshop for building terminal UIs in Lua. Users build views from functions returned by require("ito") and manage mutable state with ito.state(value). The workshop ships components such as VStack, HStack and Text, with modifiers including :spacing(1), :padding(2), :grow(), :bold() and :dim(). The preview updates live as you edit, and when code errors, the last working preview stays on screen.
