As we are using a library that just works on UNIX platforms, it's difficult to run the application on windows computers. But, recently I found out this library called textual which helps us create beautiful terminal user interfaces like in the image below.

The library is only supported for UNIX platforms right now, but they will be rolling out a windows version soon as per their readme 👇🏾

    Thanks @pranavbaburaj . That's a great idea but few doubts that we need to research -

    1. Is this lib will it give the similar structure like structure with up and down arrow ?
    2. Does this break the other functionality like playbook or notion or conflicting with other library ? (I don't think so but still we need a POC before using this because we already had done a mistake of that lib that doesn't support windows)

    I'll do a research from my end and you guys can also please do research and find out if there is any bottlenecks.

    Sure, I will also do some researches.

    I don't think the new library affects the second issue should me sorted out by manual event listeners i guess.

    Restart triage: P1 — same Windows support concern as #94. Current dynamic/utility.py still imports simple_term_menu, and README describes WSL-only support. The historical Textual proposal is an option to evaluate, not evidence that portability is fixed.

    Next step: use #94 as the canonical support-policy/smoke-test discussion and link any current native-Windows reproduction there. Check navigation, playbook behavior and dependency compatibility before replacing the terminal UI.

    Source review only; this was not run or reproduced during triage. Keeping the issue open.
