Newsletter #30 - Building a text-based application using Swift and ncurses Aug 6 2020

Hello, and welcome to issue #30!

Sometimes I feel a little nostalgic of the “good old days” when the command-line received so much love. I still believe that it is the most useful tool if you want to increase your productivity. Using graphical interfaces feel sluggish compared to a fine-tuned terminal interface. Typing is faster than moving the mouse across the screen, especially if you have a big monitor. So when everyone is so excited about SwiftUI or React, or any other graphical interface framework, I go back to working on the command-line.
