good high-level ncurses library
I still can't tear myself away from blessed-contrib and it's unfortunate to see that these projects are not very maintained

Dear Redditors! Can someone please explain to me how this widget works?
Link:https://github.com/yaronn/blessed-contrib PS I'm sorry for the bad English
- does anyone know of libraries with which I can make a text element on the site (as in the example)
-
Command line applications
Yes, you can create whatever you want - from simple CLI utils , through moderately complex interactive tools (example by me), to complex, full-fledged command line applications (example, another example).

Table and color formats
On Rust/WASM I have been playing around with using TUI which is a lib inspired by the NodeJS library Blessed Contrib which might me a good idea to look at (not sure how well it works with javascript though). I have also used Comfy-table with Rust for simple table output.

I created an htop-like terminal dashboard for viewing and managing docker containers, written in Node
✅ Built with the Node.js, blessed, and blessed-contrib
- I made a terminal utility to monitor some system stats. Was wondering if you guys know of anything better or if I should continue dev work on it since we need it?

Text UIs != Terminal UIs

Ratatui: Build rich terminal user interfaces
Same for me, I would be much more motivated if there was something like textual for Rust. Given the capability of terminal emulators now I think Rust is lacking behind in the TUI field. Just checkout what can be done with something like notcurses

Terminal emulators that break from the traditional rendering approach?
On the application side of rendering, see notcurses, it is at the leading edge: https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses
