I launched https://github.com/alganet/tuish yesterday (pure shell backend).
Exporting to pure shell could be a killer feature, especially for smaller and ad-hoc apps (no dependencies, no compilation, etc).
The fact that even the preview isn't a TUI is just lame. Keyboard controls are also non-functional right now.
(I know, I know, port forwarding should work for a web app.)
Another thing that gives the TUI concept an edge is the lack of formatting options: no way to make a font too tiny or too huge, very little leeway in implementing common controls, any excessive whitespace looks jarring, etc. Icons are limited to the common emoji.
All this makes you concentrate on providing functionality first.
