What is your go-to UI framework?
For small apps, I may choose a TUI (Terminal User Interface). Curses for Python is very lightweight, but quite low level and difficult to use for anything more than a very simple interface (if your app tries to draw outside of the drawing area, the app crashes, so you have to carefully manage every detail). Textual and asciimatics are both mature TUI frameworks that provide a higher level and more Pythonic way to create TUI's.

How to format output for a stand-alone display screen? Larger numbers, colors, redrawing the screen from the top left instead of printing a new line every time?
If you are looking for something more flexible that just printing to a terminal, take a look at Asciimatics and textual. Both are available from Pypi.

I'm making a notes app and am up to making an 'edit' feature, but have no way of making changes to a file's contents, let alone saving the changes and writing them to the file
Scroll down to the TUI example in the README, just above the documentation link: https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics

ShyySH: a TUI connection manager for SSH
I have made yet another ssh connection manager with TUI, using asciimatics and tinyDB.

Best library for TUI (Text User Interface) and CLI (Command line Interface)
Personally I dig the aesthetics of asciimatics, it's quite handy and cross-platform.

Best Javascript libraries for TUI development?
I found blessed but it seems like it was last updated 8 years ago. So what are my options?
-
good high-level ncurses library
So far I found this library github.com/chjj/blessed which is very powerful, I need to render animated charts and other complex objects and for my purpose it is doing well.

Ink: React for interactive command-line apps
Alas https://github.com/chjj/blessed/issues/418#issuecomment-1533...
I considered blessed for a recent project, but ended up just simplifying the approach & making do with Inquirer + Meow instead due to the maintenance status. Haven't found anything else equivalent to blessed, other than Ink.

My 2022 side project: @steggy/tty. Custom widgets and utilities for building terminal apps on top of NestJS. Looking for testers / feedback
Inquirer is still probably the library that is most similar, if you are looking for comparisons to existing tools. My goal was to create a set of tools that uses the terminal window for a single operation at a time. The UI providing as much contextual information as possible to the user to know what actions they can perform, and any relevant information. A bit like a "choose your adventure" via terminal app sort of thing. Explicitly trying to stay clear of full screen and dashboard type stuff, like what blessed provides.

Like seriously why does not one does it ?
Not exactly a shell scripting framework, but y’all should check out blessed js. Weirdly enough I just found it yesterday and shit goes absolutely wild in the terminal

Command line applications
You can build them from scratch, or use one of many specialized libraries on NPM, like commander, yargs, blessed, terminal kit, prompts, and many more.
-
get input from user while continuously outputting
This is where libraries come in: https://github.com/chjj/blessed - this allows you to manage rendering in the terminal on your own, so you can have a scrolling box of text at the top and a "command line" at the bottom.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (28/2022)!
I was hoping to write my app in Rust as a learning exercise, but my alternative is https://www.npmjs.com/package/blessed, which is NodeJS. Ah well.
