Senior Product Designer for a Keyboard-Driven Terminal Forum

I’m looking for an experienced product designer to review a working, keyboard-driven discussion forum before launch. The TUI is the primary product; the web app will follow its features and general layout.

The review should focus on how users move from the main post list into a thread and back, and whether the keyboard navigation makes the next step clear. I’d also like your assessment of a possible preview panel: would it help users understand what they’re about to open, or would it crowd the terminal layout?

Please provide an audit document with annotated screenshots, specific recommendations for launch, and a separate list of refinements that can wait. If you have relevant TUI or terminal-product experience, include a concise example of a navigation problem you’ve worked through. Implementation may be available as a follow-on.

This version keeps the request focused, treats the preview panel as an open design question, and doesn’t add an unsupported requirement for curses experience or make the keyboard scheme sound like a confirmed problem.
