Bubble Tea is a TUI framework for Go, known for its powerful capabilities despite a steep learning curve. Key tips include keeping the event loop fast, debugging by dumping messages to a file, using live reload for code changes, and managing message ordering from concurrent routines. Additionally, building a hierarchical tree of models helps manage complex programs and implementing error handling ensures terminal recovery. Tools like teatest and VHS aid in testing and documenting Bubble Tea applications.
