Chiko - TUI gRPC client

Chiko is a TUI (Terminal User Interface) gRPC client. It is a simple tool to interact with gRPC services using a beautiful terminal interface. This project using grpcurl library to interact with gRPC services, and combine with the beautiful terminal interface using rivo's tview library. I love using grpcurl to interact with the gRPC services, but I'm bad at remembering the flags and the syntax. So, I created this tool to help me interact with the gRPC services easily.
