GSoC 2026 Interest – TUI Framework for Dart | Lakshya

[Lakshya jaiswal]

Hi Dart Mentors and Community,

My name is Lakshya, a developer from India with hands-on
experience building multiple Flutter and Dart applications
including finance trackers, AI-powered tools, navigation
apps, and ML-based platforms.

I am interested in contributing to the TUI Framework for
Dart project for GSoC 2026.

Having worked extensively with Flutter's component-based
UI architecture, I see a strong parallel with what a TUI
framework needs, composable components, event handling,
and structured rendering. I believe my Flutter background
gives me a solid foundation to build terminal primitives
like styled text, inputs, checkboxes, and layouts in Dart.

I have gone through the project idea on the dart-lang/sdk
repo and I am currently working on a simple code sample
demonstrating a basic TUI checkbox component in Dart.

Could you please guide me on:
1. Is there a preferred terminal library or approach
   (like dart:io's stdout/stdin) I should build on top of?
2. Should the framework be purely Dart with no native
   bindings, or is FFI acceptable for terminal control?

Looking forward to being part of the Dart community!

Regards,
Lakshya
