gridland

Gridland is a framework that lets developers write React‑based applications that can be rendered both in a terminal and in a web browser. It builds on top of OpenTUI, providing a bridge between React’s component model and the character‑cell interface of terminal UIs. The same source code can produce an interactive terminal experience and a browser page without separate codebases.

The target audience is developers who want to create tools or utilities that run in the command line but also benefit from a graphical interface when opened in a browser. By leveraging familiar React patterns, Gridland reduces the learning curve for building terminal UIs and enables reuse of existing React components across environments.

What distinguishes Gridland is its dual‑render capability, allowing a single React app to be displayed in two distinct contexts. It is positioned as an experimental project, with examples such as a demo site and a starter command that scaffold a new Gridland project.
