  • Building Rich Terminal Dashboards

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

    https://github.com/reflex-frp/reflex-vty#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.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing blessed-contrib and reflex-vty you can also consider the following projects:

dashing - Terminal dashboards for Python

dockly - Immersive terminal interface for managing docker containers and services

turbo - An experimental text editor based on Scintilla and Turbo Vision.

blessed - A high-level terminal interface library for node.js.

rosshow - Visualize ROS topics inside a terminal with Unicode/ASCII art
