ETAF

Build complete text applications in Emacs with a web-style model: declarative components, cascade styling and incremental updates.

Compose reusable Components with named bindings and reactive state; the runtime owns re-rendering, identity and lifecycle.

Style subjects through selectors, specificity and cascade, and read the computed result back instead of setting faces by hand.

Lay text out with the box model, normal flow, flex and grid, measured down to the pixel.

Retained rendering publishes only what changed, so an update costs what it changed instead of a full redraw.
