Projectable: A TUI file manager built for projects
Rust has great libraries for TUIs. tui-rs (https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs) has been used in numerous popular applications, but is unmaintained. ratatui (https://github.com/tui-rs-revival/ratatui) is the maintained version, and is pretty new. Less widely known is cursive (https://github.com/gyscos/cursive), which I have yet to try.
Aside from the libraries, I just wanted to start a project that would make be better at Rust. The easy distribution with cargo is a huge bonus though.

How difficult is ncurses?
There are plenty of terminal UI libraries that are actually nice to work with. For Python, there's Textual and PyTermGUI. For Rust, there's ratatui and Cursive (or, if you want something a bit lower level, crosster or termion). For Go, there's bubbletea.

AMDGPU_TOP v0.1.2 - switch to crossterm-backend, add simple fdinfo viewer
Switching the backend of Cursive to crossterm removed dependence on ncurses

Appreciation post
I'd hear of TUIs so I just searched for tui libraries in Rust and Cursive seemed like a good choice and it turned out great!

Sharing Saturday #455
This weekend I started porting my game to a different UI library (egui) as a way of familiarizing myself with egui. I don't think I'll have something useable to build off of before this year's 7DRL challenge so I guess I'll be reusing my existing UI code (using cursive). But, once I finish porting the UI it should be a lot easier to add fancy stuff like animations, tooltips, and graphical tiles since I won't be tied to constraints of a terminal UI.

CLIs and TUIs packages
Cursive should let you easily build a layout with a menu and status bars (and mouse works).

Dwarf Fortress – randomly generated, persistent fantasy world
The thing that gets me about Dwarf Fortress is that it's a 64-bit text-mode game.
As a grey-haired developer who got excited about "DOS Extenders" that allowed 32-bit mode, seeing a text-mode game written as a native 64-bit application is bizarrely anachronistic.
I get a similar feeling from text-mode GUI frameworks for Rust, which allow multi-threading and 64-bit but are essentially clones of Borland Turbo Vision, where you had to be mindful to keep lists smaller than 64KB: https://github.com/gyscos/cursive

Is there any way to host an executable/application REMOTELY that anyone with a terminal can run/interact with without any installation? Currently, I'm limited to CURLable web scripts, but those are tedious and don't have interactable menus or animations or anything.
Which language do you use? Here is a Rust implementation of an SSH server. It handles opening the port to listen, creating the client connection, and retrieving data from the client (using getch). Then you can funnel that to an NCurses libraryand send the output back to the user
