  • I wish we had a "cool" GUI toolkit. GUIs are way better at this stuff. Adding point and click is so close to being a GUI, the only possible reason this is a TUI is fashion.

  • I hope vibecoding doesn't mean the concept of contributing upstream gets lost. At least some of this (mouse clicking) would have been a great upstream contribution instead of rewrite.

  • https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/headlamp is a good established option for a clickable k8s UI

  • > Nothing is hidden behind memorised keys

    Why is this a good thing? Have a help you your access via ? and document what the keys are. Don't dumb the interface down.

  • My Pavlov reaction when I see the Claude icon next to the committer is: not touching this. Is trust in OSS now completely gone?

  • I'm really surprised that "clickable tui" is grinding so many gears here. I've been using Linux for over 20 years. I love a good ol TUI. But nothing about clickability precludes a TUI from being useful. I love mouse support in tmux, for instance. I can shift-arrow my way around windows but I can also just click one (or tap one, if one a touch device). I do this all the time when controlling tmux from my iPhone. Why is this such a bad thing? It makes zero sense. Judge this tool on its merits of being a TUI for interacting with Kubernetes... not because it allows mouse input.

  • A clickable TUI is contrarian to why I use most CLI tools. Neat that they could build this, though, because it suits their needs.

    I'm fine with K9s and lazygit key-driven interfaces.

    I guess one thing that's good about a clickable TUI is that maybe it's easier to approach for some, wihtout releasing yet another memory hog Electron App?

  • I really don't care to click anything in a terminal, and I don't understand why its being added more and more.

    When Claude added it, I immediately hated it since you click into the terminal and accidentally click something.
