BBS "Proxy" ?
One of the nice parts about it is it's open source :) It looks like it is (mostly) a raw TCP connection - take a look at https://github.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs/blob/master/core/telnet_bridge.js, which uses the net module from node.js. As far as I can see, this looks like raw TCP rather than actually telnet. The one thing that the telnet_bridge.js code does do is look for a request for term type and can respond with that, though that looks like that would be easy to comment out or make into an option if that were a problem.

Ask HN: Could something like HN work on the fediverse?
Only if we can rock the old modems. I know there were some BBS....
....just went down the rabbit hole.
There is lots of bbs stuff out there. Here is one such example: https://github.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs

What is your go-to UI framework?
For small apps, I may choose a TUI (Terminal User Interface). Curses for Python is very lightweight, but quite low level and difficult to use for anything more than a very simple interface (if your app tries to draw outside of the drawing area, the app crashes, so you have to carefully manage every detail). Textual and asciimatics are both mature TUI frameworks that provide a higher level and more Pythonic way to create TUI's.

How to format output for a stand-alone display screen? Larger numbers, colors, redrawing the screen from the top left instead of printing a new line every time?
If you are looking for something more flexible that just printing to a terminal, take a look at Asciimatics and textual. Both are available from Pypi.

I'm making a notes app and am up to making an 'edit' feature, but have no way of making changes to a file's contents, let alone saving the changes and writing them to the file
Scroll down to the TUI example in the README, just above the documentation link: https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics

I have made yet another ssh connection manager with TUI, using asciimatics and tinyDB.

Best library for TUI (Text User Interface) and CLI (Command line Interface)
Personally I dig the aesthetics of asciimatics, it's quite handy and cross-platform.
