The top two features I want to add next are table support and some form of auto layout (like flexbox).

I really care about stability and performance, so I’m happy to hear that it’s being appreciated.

There’s this layout library in C called clay which is basically a renderer agnostic flex box style layout engine. You might be interested in reading its source!

Yeah, there's a few such libraries that I'm aware of but I haven't had time to evaluate them. I do plan to at least look into them and make decision from there.

nucleic/kiwi uses the same algorithm that autolayout uses. It's also a tried and true implementation I've used many times, including in console environments.

Both would be sick! I do spend quite a bit of time making my own "tables" and re-arranging things.
