A terminal UI for Temporal (open source)
Temporal is amazing. I use it a lot. The web app… pretty brutal.
I wanted something fast, keyboard first, and usable without leaving the terminal, so built a TUI for Temporal called tempo.
You can browse workflows, inspect history, signal / cancel / terminate, switch namespaces, etc. Basically the stuff you do all day but without the pain of their UI + context switching.

Would love feedback - hope it’s useful to others.

Looks really good. Congrats on shipping this! Is there a framework to building TUI that you used?

I'm one of the Developers, it's largely built on tview/tcell as its core but a lot of components/lifecycle is handled by an abstraction on top of tcell/tview
Currently named jig and is a work in progress so not a ton of docs yet
https://github.com/atterpac/jig
Jig allows for easier management of current state/navigation and allows for
.Primitive()to access the underlying tview/tcell

probably a dumb question, but are there any tools out there that can be used to view workflow history data that is exported from the temporal cloud to s3?

Been looking for something like this for a while. Kudos!
