Show HN: Gum, a tool for glamorous shell scripts (opens in new tab)

So it's a beefed-up colorful alternative to `fzf + input + ncurses-like prompts` where you would use English descriptive subcommands instead of shell redirections.

Nice! Kudos.

I'm blown away by everything about this. The idea, execution, readme, packaging... everything. This feels like the slick lightweight zenity or yad for the terminal that I have always wanted - but actually better than I imagined. Can't wait to try this.

A lot of things Charm is doing is pretty neat, but until they're packaged by major distros (my home distro of Debian still has none of these; and for such a niche tooling, I'm not using your third party Debian repo), they're hard to fit into anything I expect to run anywhere.

Also, have you ever considered rolling your own pager that can self file watch and remember scroll position across watch iterations? The Glow markdown reader is neat, but I'd like to use it with vim in a way where :w automatically refreshes Glow running in another tmux pane.
