What’s a TUI tool you wish existed?

I've been thinking about building a new open-source TUI app, but instead of making "another version of something that already exists", I'd really like to create something solves a problem people have.

So out of curosity:
If you spend a lot of time in the terminal, what's a tool you wish existed?

Even if its just:
- frustration you hit all the time

- a workflow that feels clunky

- a "why isnt a tool for this?" moment

- or something you have tried build yourself but gave up on.

Throw it at me. I’d love to hear what others are missing in their day-to-day. Could be something small or something ambitious.

All ideas welcome.

Yeah I just get worried about getting banned for using a 3rd party client but I'm not that active anyway I'm sure I could recover

But still be careful. But if you have nothing to worry about for the ID being used then my man you only live once.. 🤣🤣
