CLI Experiments
In this series, we'll explore building text-based user interfaces (TUIs) using Laravel Prompts. We'll examine the different aspects of building applications for the terminal, such as handling state, animations, and user interactions via the keyboard. By the end of the series, we'll have built seven fully functional CLI applications that will hopefully inspire you to go off and build your own!
