Awesome client bud!

Can you drop your plan of refactoring/rewriting? I was about to cherry pick hyperblow within a project in tauri. But wanted to ask before I went deep waters

tui-rs is unmaintained as of right now, need to move to ratatui

tui-rs is the source of TUI for the CLI binary of this project, tui-rs is unmaintained as of right now and a maintained version of tui-rs exists as a fork at rataui. Need to move to rataui ASAP!

Proper github workflow and unit tests

Currently this projects lacks CI/CD integrated, a better github actions is needed here and better tests for CI is needed

Fix memory leak

A huge heap consumption was seen, around 3.8 gigs at the end of the program, need to figure out what caused this leak
