This is a small detail that doesn't impact much, but hopefully makes the user feel good about using our product.

Right before we call Display().run(), we should print out a nicely formatted "thank you for using rich" kind of message and invite them to check in on the project or where to reach us if there was a bug. The app will pop up and they'll do what they need, but when they exit, they'll see a message from us.

Maybe just a personal opinion, but seems a bit cheesy. I'd get annoyed real fast if a program I used all the time said "Thank you" in the terminal after. There's something nice about having a clean slate and you're right back to the original state once the program is done running.

You bring up a good point. I think the first few times would be nice, but after a while it could get annoying. I was thinking it would be nice if there was a way to say "hey, if you found a bug, let us know." I don't think a single line at the end would be too terrible, but maybe it should be functional if we do have one.

I was thinking it would be "cute" for the judges if we left them a little message. Perhaps we could have cli flags to enable/disable showing the message and storing the state of their preference in the same place where we cache search results.

Thanks for using  WTPython, blah blah blah

Run "wtpython -Q" to permanently disable this message or "wtpython --thanks" to see this message in the future.

We can have an "info" window show up if they run pytui without any script name / have it be an extra panel in the footer which they can open. I like the more opt-in approach
