Gui.cs VS FINAL CUT

As someone who writes software for moderately boring business operations, I've been wondering making terminal-based apps with lots of keyboard shortcuts would lead to a more productive end user than writing a web app.

I've been looking at https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui but haven't tried it yet.

Thanks but I'm sticking with Terminal.Gui

Used this neat library to handle the GUI gui-cs/Terminal.Gui: Cross Platform Terminal UI toolkit for .NET (github.com)

Terminal.GUI - cross platform terminal UI for .NET: https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui

Two I've used are Terminal.Gui for .net https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui and BubbleTea for Go https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea

In that case you can use console (https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui) to make games.

As you can see the tool is always integrated into the terminal because it has built on a cross platform UI toolkit based on a fantastic open source project called Terminal.Gui. Now you can select the objects by using space bar and than confirm the selection with enter. The result will be:

C# - https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui

Since you mentioned minimal GUI, have you thought of a TUI? I haven't spiked it out but I would guess Terminal.Gui would work with Native AOT

PSA: Not Apple's Final Cut, but rather this:

Maybe FINAL CUT is something for you. It has its own widgets and can be controlled with the mouse or keyboard.

The reason for my posting is not the XPM viewer. The primary reason was the data processing class, which allows you to display logos or other simple graphics in your programs.

I implemented for FINAL CUT a simple data processing class and an image viewer for X PixMap (XPM) images. It allows displaying XPM icons in the terminal. Maybe someone will find it helpful.

If you want to write in C++, you can have a look at my small TUI framework FINAL CUT.
