Higher-order templating

[antonmedv]

Hello team 👋🏻

I really like bubbletea and it's design ideas. Really easy to use. I enjoyed working with bubbletea in https://github.com/antonmedv/llama.

But in my other project https://github.com/antonmedv/fx, bubbletea was much more difficult to use. I had to spit view lines to chunks of chunks, and merge chunks back in a really complicated way 🤯

And idea of adding a popup is just no go there. Here is a similar issues:

• WIP: feat(position): Add function to place an overlay lipgloss#102
• Compositing #309
• Node-based rendering #79

My proposal is to add another package on top of bubbletea. Something what allows easy composition, styling and overlaying of components.

<view flex="column">
    <view border="rounded" id="nav"/>
    <view background="red" id="content"/>
</view>
<popup top="5" left="30">
    <input type="text">
    <button value="Ok">
</popup>

A view things such package can provide:

• flex layouts (very easy to create layouts, menus, etc),
• popups
• inputs and buttons
• styling

Why html? Because people already know it. 🥹

I think such library can be a really nice addition to the awesome bubbletea. Unfortunately I don't have time to work on such library (also I think it will be extremely interesting to work on it).

So I hope you can work on it. 🥺
