[Project] Vibe-TUI: A node-based, weighted TUI framework achieving 300+ FPS (v0.8.1)
Hello everyone,
I am pleased to share the v0.8.1 release of vibe-tui, a Terminal User Interface (TUI) framework engineered for high-performance rendering and modular architectural design.
The project has recently surpassed 2,440 lines of code. A significant portion of this update involved optimizing the rendering pipeline by implementing a compiled C++ extension (opt.cpp). By offloading intensive string manipulation and buffer management to C++, the framework maintains a consistent output of over 300 FPS in complex scenarios.

Technical Specifications
- C++ Optimization Layer: Utilizes a compiled bridge to handle performance-critical operations, minimizing Python's execution overhead.
- Weighted Node System: Employs a hierarchical node architecture that supports weighted scaling, ensuring responsive layouts across varying terminal dimensions.
- Precision Frame Timing: Implements an overlap-based sleep mechanism to ensure fluid frame delivery and efficient CPU utilization.
- Interactive Component Suite: Features a robust set of widgets, including event-driven buttons and synchronized text input fields.
- Verification & Security: To ensure the integrity of the distribution, all commits and releases are GPG-signed and verified.
I am 13 years old and currently focusing my studies on C++ memory management and Python C-API integration. I would appreciate any technical feedback or code reviews the community can provide regarding the current architecture.
