Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/rivo/tview/issues/917

I'm trying to determine if this is the correct library for me. I have an interactive automation tool that manages large software defined storage platforms like ceph, etc...

One of the modes loops thru a list of hosts and does various maintenance tasks serially. I want to output each host's status as it occurs on the tty.

Basically I'll be appending to the tty.
Something like this: (sorry github is munging the formatting)

processing host1                               SUCCESS
processing host2                               ERROR
processing host3        upgrading kernel       PENDING

So while host3 is processing, it updates the current task it is doing:

processing host1                                 SUCCESS
processing host2                                 ERROR
processing host3        applying firmware        PENDING

Is this possible with this library?

use tview.NewList() and in the app.QueueUpdateDraw() function use InsertItem()
