/// A simple example demonstrating how to handle user input. This is
/// a bit out of the scope of the library as it does not provide any
/// input handling out of the box. However, it may helps some to get
/// started.
///
/// This is a very simple example:
///   * A input box always focused. Every character you type is registered
///   here
///   * Pressing Backspace erases a character
///   * Pressing Enter pushes the current input in the history of previous
///   messages
