Suggest install with pipx in README

[Jacob Tomlinson]

This looks like a really neat textual app!

You might want to direct folks to install it with pipx rather than pip in the README. Pip will install it in whatever Python environment is currently active, which means it could get broken down the line and changing environments might remove it from the PATH.

Pipx creates a new venv for just the app and ensures always it's available.

Thank you!
This is very good idea. I will update README with next update.

What about using Poetry as a dependency manager?
As well controlling the environment it has a lot of nice features one of which is fast dependency resolving and tracking of all the dependencies the dependency libraries rely upon.

Defacto its becoming the industry standard to initiate a Python project with.

I did some small project in the past that did not have much interest, so for most of them my silly template was enough.
But you are absolutely right, poetry nowadays is standard and this is already on my todo list.
I have problem with finishing projects so one of my strategy is to release fast. But then - oh boy, I need to face shame for my dirty code and things that I used to... but refactor is almost done 😄

Well, I guess no one really cares about the quality of the code. The project itself is a pretty nice idea. And having implemented it asap attracts contributors to contribute and fix the issues if there are any.
So don't worry about the quality of the code. That's for whaf opensource exists for.

Poetry is great, for any project that doesn't have complex compiled dependencies I agree it should be the defacto choice these days.

However, I would point out that this project is a TUI application, not a library or backend application, so pipx would be the right choice for the end user to install it with. For dev making it poetry based makes sense.

But poetry provides a neat way to create a package and push it to PyPi
So for the end user would the same API of using pip or pipx to install it.
Correct me if I am missing something

Yeah, I think we are agreeing that poetry would be great for dev/publishing. This issue was discussing moving the README instructions from pip to pipx. I didn't want @Cvaniak to think the suggestion was to tell users to install with poetry.

Maybe it would be best to open a new issue to track moving publishing to poetry?

Okay, got it. Apologies for misunderstanding.
+1 about creating a separate issue for adding Poetry as a dependency manager.
