+== Terminal UIs, the Ruby Way
+
+RatatuiRuby[https://rubygems.org/gems/ratatui_ruby] is a RubyGem built on
+Ratatui[https://ratatui.rs], a leading TUI library written in
+Rust[https://rust-lang.org]. You get native performance with the joy of Ruby.
+
+  gem install ratatui_ruby --pre
+
+{rdoc-image:https://ratatui-ruby.dev/hero.gif}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/app_cli_rich_moments/README_md.html]
+
+=== Rich Moments
+
+Add a spinner, a progress bar, or an inline menu to your CLI script. No
+full-screen takeover. Your terminal history stays intact.
+
+==== Inline Viewports
+
+Standard TUIs erase themselves on exit. Your carefully formatted CLI output
+disappears. Users lose their scrollback.
+
+<b>Inline viewports</b> solve this. They occupy a fixed number of lines, render
+rich UI, then leave the output in place when done.
+
+Perfect for spinners, menus, progress indicators—any brief moment of richness.
+
+  require "ratatui_ruby"
+
+  RatatuiRuby.run(viewport: :inline, height: 1) do |tui|
+    until connected?
+      status = tui.paragraph(text: "\#{spin} Connecting...")
+      tui.draw { |frame| frame.render_widget(status, frame.area) }
+    end
+  end
+
+=== Build Something Real
+
+Full-screen applications with {keyboard and mouse input}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/app_all_events/README_md.html]. The managed loop
+sets up the terminal and restores it on exit, even after crashes.

+
+=== Testing Built In
+
+TUI testing is tedious. You need a headless terminal, event injection,
+snapshot comparisons, and style assertions. RatatuiRuby bundles all of it.
+
+  require "ratatui_ruby/test_helper"
+
+  class TestColorPicker < Minitest::Test
+    include RatatuiRuby::TestHelper
+
+    def test_swatch_widget
+      with_test_terminal(10, 3) do
+        RatatuiRuby.draw do |frame|
+          frame.render_widget(Swatch.new(:red), frame.area)
+        end
+        assert_cell_style 2, 1, char: "█", bg: :red
+      end
+    end
+  end
+
+==== What's inside:
+
+- <b>Headless terminal</b> — No real TTY needed
+- <b>Snapshots</b> — Plain text and rich (ANSI colors)
+- <b>Event injection</b> — Keys, mouse, paste, resize
+- <b>Style assertions</b> — Color, bold, underline at any cell
+- <b>Test doubles</b> — Mock frames and stub rects
+- <b>UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=1</b> — Regenerate baselines in one command
+
+

+
+==== Inline Menu Example
+
+  require "ratatui_ruby"
+
+  # This example renders an inline menu. Arrow keys select, enter confirms.
+  # The menu appears in-place, preserving scrollback. When the user chooses,
+  # the TUI closes and the script continues with the selected value.

+    CHOICES = ["Production", "Staging", "Development"]         # ASCII strings are universally supported.
+    PREFIXES = { active: "●", inactive: "○" }                  # Some terminals may not support Unicode.
+    CONTROLS = "↑/↓: Select | Enter: Choose | Ctrl+C: Cancel"  # Let users know what keys you handle.
+    TITLES = ["Select Environment",                            # The default title position is top left.
+              { content: CONTROLS,                             # Multiple titles can save space.

+
+=== Full App Solutions
+
+RatatuiRuby renders. For complex applications, add a framework that manages
+state and composition.
+
+==== Rooibos[https://git.sr.ht/~kerrick/rooibos] (Framework)
+
+Model-View-Update architecture. Inspired by Elm, Bubble Tea, and React +
+Redux. Your UI is a pure function of state.
+
+- Functional programming with MVU
+- Commands work off the main thread
+- Messages, not callbacks, drive updates
+
+==== {Kit}[https://sr.ht/~kerrick/ratatui_ruby/#chapter-3-the-object-path--kit] (Coming Soon)
+
+Component-based architecture. Encapsulate state, input handling, and
+rendering in reusable pieces.
+
+- OOP with stateful components
+- Separate UI state from domain logic
+- Built-in focus management & click handling
+
+Both use the same widget library and rendering engine. Pick the paradigm
+that fits your brain.
+
+
+---
+
+=== Why RatatuiRuby?
+
+Ruby deserves world-class terminal user interfaces. TUI developers deserve
+a world-class language.
+
+RatatuiRuby wraps Rust's Ratatui via native extension. The Rust library
+handles rendering. Your Ruby code handles design.
+
+>>>
+  "Text UIs are seeing a renaissance with many new TUI libraries popping up.
+  The Ratatui bindings have proven to be full featured and stable."
+
+  — {Mike Perham}[https://www.mikeperham.com/], creator of
+  Sidekiq[https://sidekiq.org/] and Faktory[https://contribsys.com/faktory/]
+
+==== Why Rust? Why Ruby?
+
+Rust excels at low-level rendering. Ruby excels at expressing domain logic
+and UI. RatatuiRuby puts each language where it performs best.
+
+==== Versus CharmRuby
+
+CharmRuby[https://charm-ruby.dev/] wraps Charm's Go libraries. Both projects
+give Ruby developers TUI options.
+
+[Integration]
+  CharmRuby: Two runtimes, one process.
+  RatatuiRuby: Native extension in Rust.
+[Runtime]
+  CharmRuby: Go + Ruby (competing).
+  RatatuiRuby: Ruby (Rust has no runtime).
+[Memory]
+  CharmRuby: Two uncoordinated GCs.
+  RatatuiRuby: One Garbage Collector.
+[Style]
+  CharmRuby: The Elm Architecture (TEA).
+  RatatuiRuby: TEA, OOP, or Imperative.

-description: ratatui_ruby is a wrapper for the Ratatui Rust crate <https://ratatui.rs>.
-  It allows you to cook up Terminal User Interfaces in Ruby.
+description: |2-
+
+  == Terminal UIs, the Ruby Way
+
+  RatatuiRuby[https://rubygems.org/gems/ratatui_ruby] is a RubyGem built on
+  Ratatui[https://ratatui.rs], a leading TUI library written in
+  Rust[https://rust-lang.org]. You get native performance with the joy of Ruby.
+
+    gem install ratatui_ruby --pre
+
+  {rdoc-image:https://ratatui-ruby.dev/hero.gif}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/app_cli_rich_moments/README_md.html]
+
+  === Rich Moments
+
+  Add a spinner, a progress bar, or an inline menu to your CLI script. No
+  full-screen takeover. Your terminal history stays intact.
+
+  ==== Inline Viewports
+
+  Standard TUIs erase themselves on exit. Your carefully formatted CLI output
+  disappears. Users lose their scrollback.
+
+  <b>Inline viewports</b> solve this. They occupy a fixed number of lines, render
+  rich UI, then leave the output in place when done.
+
+  Perfect for spinners, menus, progress indicators—any brief moment of richness.
+
+    require "ratatui_ruby"
+
+    RatatuiRuby.run(viewport: :inline, height: 1) do |tui|
+      until connected?
+        status = tui.paragraph(text: "\#{spin} Connecting...")
+        tui.draw { |frame| frame.render_widget(status, frame.area) }
+      end
+    end
+
+  === Build Something Real
+
+  Full-screen applications with {keyboard and mouse input}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/app_all_events/README_md.html]. The managed loop
+  sets up the terminal and restores it on exit, even after crashes.
+
+    RatatuiRuby.run do |tui|
+      loop do
+        tui.draw do |frame|
+          frame.render_widget(
+            tui.paragraph(text: "Hello, RatatuiRuby!", alignment: :center),
+            frame.area
+          )
+        end
+
+        case tui.poll_event
+        in { type: :key, code: "q" } then break
+        else nil

+
+  ---
+
+  === Testing Built In
+
+  TUI testing is tedious. You need a headless terminal, event injection,
+  snapshot comparisons, and style assertions. RatatuiRuby bundles all of it.
+
+    require "ratatui_ruby/test_helper"
+
+    class TestColorPicker < Minitest::Test
+      include RatatuiRuby::TestHelper
+
+      def test_swatch_widget
+        with_test_terminal(10, 3) do
+          RatatuiRuby.draw do |frame|
+            frame.render_widget(Swatch.new(:red), frame.area)
+          end
+          assert_cell_style 2, 1, char: "█", bg: :red
+        end
+      end
+    end
+
+  ==== What's inside:
+
+  - <b>Headless terminal</b> — No real TTY needed
+  - <b>Snapshots</b> — Plain text and rich (ANSI colors)
+  - <b>Event injection</b> — Keys, mouse, paste, resize
+  - <b>Style assertions</b> — Color, bold, underline at any cell
+  - <b>Test doubles</b> — Mock frames and stub rects
+  - <b>UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=1</b> — Regenerate baselines in one command
+
+

+
+  ==== Inline Menu Example
+
+    require "ratatui_ruby"
+
+    # This example renders an inline menu. Arrow keys select, enter confirms.
+    # The menu appears in-place, preserving scrollback. When the user chooses,
+    # the TUI closes and the script continues with the selected value.
+    class RadioMenu
+      CHOICES = ["Production", "Staging", "Development"]         # ASCII strings are universally supported.
+      PREFIXES = { active: "●", inactive: "○" }                  # Some terminals may not support Unicode.
+      CONTROLS = "↑/↓: Select | Enter: Choose | Ctrl+C: Cancel"  # Let users know what keys you handle.
+      TITLES = ["Select Environment",                            # The default title position is top left.
+                { content: CONTROLS,                             # Multiple titles can save space.
+                  position: :bottom,                             # Titles go on the top or bottom,

+
+  === Full App Solutions
+
+  RatatuiRuby renders. For complex applications, add a framework that manages
+  state and composition.
+
+  ==== Rooibos[https://git.sr.ht/~kerrick/rooibos] (Framework)
+
+  Model-View-Update architecture. Inspired by Elm, Bubble Tea, and React +
+  Redux. Your UI is a pure function of state.
+
+  - Functional programming with MVU
+  - Commands work off the main thread
+  - Messages, not callbacks, drive updates
+
+  ==== {Kit}[https://sr.ht/~kerrick/ratatui_ruby/#chapter-3-the-object-path--kit] (Coming Soon)
+
+  Component-based architecture. Encapsulate state, input handling, and
+  rendering in reusable pieces.
+
+  - OOP with stateful components
+  - Separate UI state from domain logic
+  - Built-in focus management & click handling
+
+  Both use the same widget library and rendering engine. Pick the paradigm
+  that fits your brain.
+
+
+  ---
+
+  === Why RatatuiRuby?
+
+  Ruby deserves world-class terminal user interfaces. TUI developers deserve
+  a world-class language.
+
+  RatatuiRuby wraps Rust's Ratatui via native extension. The Rust library
+  handles rendering. Your Ruby code handles design.
+
+  >>>
+    "Text UIs are seeing a renaissance with many new TUI libraries popping up.
+    The Ratatui bindings have proven to be full featured and stable."
+
+    — {Mike Perham}[https://www.mikeperham.com/], creator of
+    Sidekiq[https://sidekiq.org/] and Faktory[https://contribsys.com/faktory/]
+
+  ==== Why Rust? Why Ruby?
+
+  Rust excels at low-level rendering. Ruby excels at expressing domain logic
+  and UI. RatatuiRuby puts each language where it performs best.
+
+  ==== Versus CharmRuby
+
+  CharmRuby[https://charm-ruby.dev/] wraps Charm's Go libraries. Both projects
+  give Ruby developers TUI options.
+
+  [Integration]
+    CharmRuby: Two runtimes, one process.
+    RatatuiRuby: Native extension in Rust.
+  [Runtime]
+    CharmRuby: Go + Ruby (competing).
+    RatatuiRuby: Ruby (Rust has no runtime).
+  [Memory]
