README

          
# vtm

It is a text-based application where the entire user interface is represented by a mosaic of text cells forming a TUI matrix. The resulting TUI matrix is ​​just rendered either into its own GUI window or into a compatible text console.

It can wrap any console application and be nested indefinitely, forming a text-based desktop environment.
