Certamen - A TUI Quiz App, Make Quizzes; Test Yourself or use over SSH

I wanted to have a way to have fun quizzes, be it about programming, university, etc. with my friends (over SSH) or just to learn and practice by myself since I have many different multiple choice examination in my University at times. So I thought the best way to do that would be to edit my old CLI app and turn it into a pretty decently apt TUI in C++! So far, you can author quizzes and the app is split into multiple screens to facilitate this with pretty nice UI. The application currently supports multiple choice quizzes primarily.
However, I am planning to extend the functionality to have multi-select multiple choice questions, single response questions graded by diffs in text input (perhaps?) and even extend it to become a Competitive Programming TUI one day!

To make this application, FTXUI by Arthur Sonzogni was used, along with yaml-cpp and libssh as outlined in my credits.

I hope other people enjoy this application and I had a lot of fun releasing this as this is my first ever AUR package!

There are probably a few UI bugs, and there are a few issues with the more complex SSH features, and I would LOVE some issues to be opened in my GitHub repo! Thanks!
I know this isn't a very impressive feature-set so far, but I hope to develop it further! anyway I am just happy to be able to make a silly app and publish it to the AUR since this was made over several sleepless nights))

Find the AUR package and github here!
