Oh what the heck. Sorry for the silly question, but if you can find a minute to answer I would really appreciate it:

It's not at all obvious to me how to get the value the user inputs for the Name input field, in below simple snippet. Can some please put me out of my misery?

Nevermind. The StackOverflow questions was answered.

fmt.Printf("%s\n", form.GetFormItem(0).(*tview.InputField).GetText() )

Thanks

Not a silly question. ;-) The Stack Overflow answer is correct. And I'll add that instead of reading out the text at the end, I usually register all changes to an input field:

form.AddInputField("Text:", "", 0, nil, func(text string) {
  myText = text
})
// ...
fmt.Println(myText)

In this solution, you don't need to cast or know the index of the input field.
