Make it easy to use in Deno projects

[ralfw]

Please provide a Deno package like Cliffy does.

You seem to have published some earlier version of clack on Deno Land. Please push this much more powerful release there, too, for easy use in Deno Typescript projects.🙏

I am thinking of creating a clack but specifically for deno based on their std library , do let me know what you guys think

@SerJaimeLannister And please, please add a multi-line text entry widget. That would be sooo awesome. It's missing from all the CLI/Console libs.

Single line text entry is a first step. Great for a name or a filepath.

But multi-line text entry would be next level and crucial for many apps, think AI chatbot for example😉

It should have a fixed width and can start with a fixed height (eg 5 lines).
It could start with the fixed height being the max. number of lines. Or - yet another level - could offer a scroll bar and allow texts exceeding the fixed height.

And yet another level would be to make it self-expanding from eg 1 line up to a max. number of lines.

But you can start small😉

I know, it's probably not that easy... but the benefits would be so, so big! Finally real user interfaces would be possible (again) on the console. They'd be so fast, so simple, so easy. Focus on the essential.

Yes https://github.com/SerJaimeLannister/deno-clack
I am going to work on it , but I would like to state that I am confused in license , I am probably sided towards agpl / mpl .

[ralfw]

I'd say, license is secondary for now ;-) You can change it anytime. Get started, deliver sth awesome - and then ask ChatGPT which license to use. Describe what you want to cover/achieve, and it will recommend a license.

If anyone would like to help setup GitHub Actions to publish Clack to JSR, that would be very nice to add!

I might be able to get to this if nobody can jump in, but it's lower on the priority list than getting docs and some new features out.
