🎨 Design Philosophy
TypeStorm was built with three core principles in mind:
1. Terminal-First Minimalism
We believe tools should live where developers live: the terminal. TypeStorm provides a distraction-free environment without the bloat of a web browser.
2. Performance & Safety
Built with Rust, TypeStorm leverages the language's memory safety and speed. It uses ratatui for efficient rendering and crossterm for cross-platform compatibility.
3. Modern Aesthetics
CLI tools don't have to look ancient. We prioritize a clean, colorful, and responsive UI that feels "premium" to use.
