I was able to get TUI to render a timer in IELM, which is impressive enough for me.
I think it would be a good idea to compare this library and its goals with the built-in Widget Library, as there are differences that would be interesting to see when someone is looking for a TUI-like library, or a component library for making interfaces and forms of some sort... application programming within Emacs in general, I suppose.
At the moment, I'm using the Widget Library, but I'm having difficulty with some of its documentation and some of its behaviour, but otherwise I think it meets my needs more appropriately than TUI. I may be wrong, however!
If TUI provides buttons, editable fields, lists, most of what Widget provides, then I might try implementing my setup-buffer in TUI instead.
What do you think, Erik? I think it'd be good for the README section where you mention other similar projects, Emacs and non-Emacs.

That's a great idea! I know that I've struggled with widgets too. It would be really good to have an enumeration of the widgets - at least for the sake of tracking completeness of a standard component library.
You likely notice my perspective has mostly been from the lens of HTML elements. Ultimately I'd like to see richer textual components and layout tools for use in eww. I haven't tackled components systematically though; only as specific personal needs have arisen. Is there a particular input widget that you've struggled with recently? I can try my hand at wrapping an input widget with tui to see if that would present a more palatable API for you.
