Using React to render a CLI tool is something. I'm not sure how I feel about that. It feels like like 90% of the code is handling issues with rendering.
I mean, it's a thin wrapper around LLM APIs, so it's not surprising that most of the code is rendering. I'm not sure what you're referring to by "handling issues with rendering", though—it looks like a pretty bog standard React app. Am I missing something?

I suspect React will eventually standardize all UI writing approaches.
But that seems not a possibility in the modern days of software distribution, especially with GPU-dependent stuff like LLMs.
So yeah, I get why this exists.
