In theory I like GUIs better as you can do a lot more with them, but they disappoint me so often that I often prefer a TUI (or a commandline tool).
It's not just the use of immediate mode, but a whole stack of design decisions to prioritize snappiness.
Most of it is because of ancillary stuff and heavy dependencies.
[1] Like hamburger menus. These make zero sense in a desktop GUI. They make perfect sense on a small vertical screen, but horizontal screen space is just not a scarce commodity on a 27" screen. All these things accomplish is making a button that's harder to accurately click.
The idiosyncrasy of a GUI in your terminal is also part of its charm, especially in how it looks.
I think it's similar to the appeal of making a webapp in a fun tech like Elm except it has access to the filesystem and can do whatever it wants, so it's also less limiting.
One question (and apologies if it was on the documentation), but is it possible to automate to download and archive series for later watching without internet? This is my number #1 usage scenario, mostly getting the fresh chapters and have them locally because they disappear from the URL after some time or I might want to just watch while travelling without internet somewhere.
Thank you.
I see mpv, so it's basically a file browser for movie files?
