problem

ref works, but because react typings are tightly coupled to react-dom in a majorly bummerly kind of way, we get compiler errors :(

problem

• useRef doesnt update to with references to blessed nodes
• useState generally works, but in some cases inside of useEffect closures, correct state is not reflected out (see examples/index) where the same impl works in React.PureComponent vs FC impl

problem

on "tab" internal blessed <Form /> implements its own focus handler, preventing me from escaping the form. if there's only one el, it never unfocuses the single el

problem

t.context.settle is a brittle await delay() style thing used in the tests

discussion

• how can we introspect the reconciler to query settled state?
• how do we wire in tests to use said mechanism?

problem

blessed emits the text of the item, so the user cannot conveniently bind a cb to an item--an intermediary fn must lookup other context via plain-text then execute. bummer!

problem

<Box>
  <Text>a</Text>
  <Text>b</Text>
</Box>

results in just plain b rendered, as opposed to ab as expected in web & RN.

context

in the blessed model, all boxes are relative to parent nodes. siblings must position themselves via width/height/left/top-like props, vs a natural flowing layout.

we're an enhanced flow model to be used, it would certainly collide with ^ aforementioned absolute positioning APIs (errrr relatively absolute :)), and such APIs would have to be privatized, etc
