Some screenshots would be nice. I found this one [0] of the TUI from 2018, but not much else.

maintainer here - this is great feedback!

i recently rewrote the README because i felt like its previous iteration was a bit _too_ dense. i may have gone a bit overboard on moving things :)

FWIW, the screenshots you're looking for currently live in: https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug/blob/bd936650ccf44ca33cf9...

honestly cleaning up the Readme and documentation would go a very long way, right now all the information feels fragmented behind all of the little pages. I clicked into the documentation and clicked the first link presented to me on each page and 5 clicks or so in I was on the command line docs but I hadn't seen anything that gave me a high level overview of what git-bug is, what it does, why I want to use it, etc...

I understand that documentation can be hard and you need docs for newbies and long time users, but as a newbie I cannot for the life of me figure out what this is.

This would be amazing as a Magit module for Emacs. I don’t relish the idea of using it in a terminal alongside Emacs while using Git from inside Emacs. Is there a lower-level interface that Magit could provide a porcelain for, maybe?

i have no understanding, beyond that of a lexical nature, what a "magit module" is. i'm a (neo)vim user, and heavy terminal junkie, and if i wanted to build a vim plugin for git-bug, that plugin would likely be shelling out to the command line (as git-bug doesn't expose an independent API today -- it's only started when you start the web ui).

is a "magit module" roughly synonymous with a vim plugin? if so, then would shelling out to the CLI work?

Magit is a Git porcelain for Emacs that implements an interactive TUI. It uses the lower-level APIs Git exposes, I think via the shell but I’m not positive. I’m really just saying if there’s not a primitive API for third-party interactive porcelains to use, that should be part of the design picture! :)

TUI?

EDIT: "rich terminal users interfaces"
