calcurse VS bottom

The Windows CLI is unfriendly to developers, a bit of shoving great-grandpa in the corner (despite its origins in DOS); as such, CLI developers tend not to spend much time investing in Windows-native TUI applications. With WSL, you at least mitigate a lot of that, opening you (OP) to the *nix world of CLI/TUI applications. Within WSL, you (OP) might also investigate calcurse which allows you to associate items like notes with dates. Or check out remind, my favorite, but focused more on complex calendaring rather than journaling (for my journaling, I just have a single text-file)

Hello everyone, I have used node with express but I've started to see many CLI projects like inquirer and I want to make a calcurse clone but don't know how to start, any advice in how can I make a CLI interface like inquirer or calcurse?

Try calcurse.

If you, well, almost borrow your name from calcurse, then shouldn't you highlight the key differences from your rival?

calcurse: fairly complex with events, reminders, notes/todos, as well as the ability to import/export .ics iCal files, customizable layout choices, etc.

There's also calcurse if you like terminal apps.

I use evolution the gnome email client. There is also calcurse, which is a ncurses based calendar with "experimental CalDAV support", I havent used it for too long, as I need an email application anyways and it's alright.

Most folks are used to a pretty visual calendar like Google Calendar or calcurse with wizards for creating events, so entering them in a text-file feels archaic/baroque. But using remind gives me a LOT more power for creating events that do weird things like having my entries modify their text based on presentation or calculations (e.g. birthday events that say "Joe turns 31 in 7 days", adjusting the age each year and giving multiple days of countdown notice), crazy things like having repeating events that shift around conditionally ("trash day is on Thursday, but if there was a holiday earlier in the week, move trash day to Friday").

Interested in checking this out! Is it called calcurse though? Can find one named cursecal.

bottom

I'd suggest Bottom as a TUI alternative to the in-built task managers - https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom

It works on Windows also.

If anyone is looking for a "top" like, written in Rust, might have a look at https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom

Looks like bottom with another theme

As a macOS user, it boils my brain whenever I've to type in something like ~/Library/Application Support/org.rust-lang.Cargo/config.toml. macOS users have been begging CLI tools to support XDG variables on macOS too. Setting defaults is a strong indication to the community what should be the "preferred" locations. The defaults defined in your article will invariably lead to some authors saying that if that path is good enough for cargo, then it is good enough for their tool. Even the latest draft RFC acknowledges that macOS should use XDG variables too. I've written more about this here.
