Textual 0.14.0 shakes up posting messages
Textual version 0.14.0 has landed just a week after 0.13.0.
Note
We like fast releases for Textual. Fast releases means quicker feedback, which means better code.
What's new?
Overhead of Python Asyncio tasks
Every widget in Textual, be it a button, tree view, or a text input, runs an asyncio task. There is even a task for scrollbar corners (the little space formed when horizontal and vertical scrollbars meet).
Textual 0.12.0 adds syntactical sugar and batch updates
It's been just 9 days since the previous release, but we have a few interesting enhancements to the Textual API to talk about.
Textual 0.11.0 adds a beautiful Markdown widget
We released Textual 0.10.0 25 days ago, which is a little longer than our usual release cycle. What have we been up to?

I'm taking a brief break from blogging about Textual to bring you this brief PSA for Python developers who work with async code. I wanted to expand a little on this tweet.
So you're looking for a wee bit of Textual help...

Patience, Highlander. You have done well. But it'll take time. You are generations being born and dying. You are at one with all living things. Each man's thoughts and dreams are yours to know. You have power beyond imagination. Use it well, my friend. Don't lose your head.

As of the time of writing, I'm a couple or so days off having been with Textualize for 3 months. It's been fun, and educational, and every bit as engaging as I'd hoped, and more. One thing I hadn't quite prepared for though, but which I really love, is how so many other people are learning Textual along with me.
A better asyncio sleep for Windows to fix animation
I spent some time optimizing Textual on Windows recently, and discovered something which may be of interest to anyone working with async code on that platform.
A year of building for the terminal
I joined Textualize back in January 2022, and since then have been hard at work with the team on both Rich and Textual. Over the course of the year, I’ve been able to work on a lot of really cool things. In this post, I’ll review a subset of the more interesting and visual stuff I’ve built. If you’re into terminals and command line tooling, you’ll hopefully see at least one thing of interest!
Textual 0.6.0 adds a treemendous new widget
