Plans, yes. Still thinking about the best way to do it without inventing too many wheels. Timeline depends on inspiration and free time. Although lately with the pandemic free time hasn't been a problem.
I commented on this in another HN discussion thread [1] on Blessed [2]. You might want to look at what Vermont Views did [3] to avoid reinventing the wheel of what to implement. I'm sure if you put the call out for it, someone, somewhere, reading on HN, will be able to post up the documentation if you want a detailed look, or send you the obfuscated source code (which these days could probably be re-constituted with modern re-factoring editors). I tried emailing and hard copy mail contacting them a few years back to buy the rights so I could turn around to open source it as I anticipated a resurgence of interest in TUI's because the browser-based latency issue is simply not improving fast enough, but never got a response, so as far as I can tell, they went abandonware (their corporate form is inactive [4], but someone is updating their office address as recently as a couple years ago, so I might give a shot at contacting them again).
