finally.. ratatui in Typst..

This is a terribly barebones and shitty proof-of-concept for writing Ratatui apps for Typst.

Inspired by soviet-matrix

Try it out!

1. Use ratatypst-core in your Rust project:

   cargo add --git https://github.com/sermuns/ratatypst

2. Write a Ratatui app (see examples in examples/) that uses ratatypst_core::TypstBackend for the backend.

3. Compile the Rust code, see the Justfile for inspiration. Make to use wasm32-unknown-unknown target and #import the .wasm file as a WASM plugin in your Typst code.

4. Render the PDF, either:

   • Edit the .typ file with typst-preview.nvim which can re-render a preview on every keystroke.

   • Use typst CLI (not as cool)

     typst watch main.typ

     which automatically recompiles PDF everytime the .typ is saved with modifications.
