Awesome, congrats on releasing your first library. If you intend 
to work on it further, I'd like to see:
- A way to call a function when a specific key is pressed (key 
binding)
- More portability, better support for other terminals; see 
termbox source code for a reasonable level of portability
- Colors! But I guess we could probably combine your library with 
the "color" library for that, right?

I do enjoy the gif that shows the functionality. I bet using 
Unicode characters for borders and such would look nice.
