blessed-contrib VS reflex-vty

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

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).

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.

✅ Built with the Node.js, blessed, and blessed-contrib

If you plan on using blessed, there’s also (blessed-contrib)[https://github.com/yaronn/blessed-contrib], which is a library of widgets for blessed.

There's a slick little Haskell library that does something similar called reflex-vty:

One thing neither of these libraries appear to have done yet that I would really like is create a more compact window rendering. Currently each window gets a 1-character border. What I would like is something that saves space by collapsing adjacent windows' borders into a single character instead of having two redundant borders next to each other. Of course I get why they do it the way they do, but terminals are often more constrained for space and with complex UIs you can lose a fair amount due to these unnecessary borders. That would be the next thing I'd hack on to improve these kinds of libraries. But alas...too many fun projects to hack on and not enough hours in the day.
