rv 0.4 can install your project gems now. Locked gems only so far, but that's still super exciting. Try it out, and tell us what you want next! spinel.coop/blog/rv-clea...

Alongside the Ruby 4.0 release last week, I published charm-ruby over Christmas, bringing @charm.land's excellent terminal UI libraries to Ruby.

A full TUI framework, reusable components, styled output, forms, markdown rendering, spinners, charts, and a lot more!
