Introducing EzTerm - A template-based cross-platform Terminal UI framework
I needed to create a UI for a command line app recently, and spoiled as I am creating UI's from config files with Kivy in Python, I decided to create a template-based terminal UI framework for Rust, which became EzTerm. It was just added to cargo, and has a full tutorial available.

What's everyone working on this week (30/2022)?
I'm still working on EzTerm, a new terminal UI framework based on (YAML-ish) config files. There's been a ton of commits and I plan on releasing it on cargo in august as it has reached a minimally viable state. I'm currently writing docs and examples and fixing bugs.

Rust TUI libraries
I've noticed the same thing. Tui-rs looks awesome but as you said is not so easy to use. I've decided to try and create an easy-to-use framework myself (EzTerm), and noticed that the borrow-checker definitely introduces some challenges compared to creating a (T)UI framework in some other languages.
