fari VS imtui

I had always wanted to write something in this and got my chance last year when I finally decided to write a utility for Safari tab management:

https://github.com/incanus/fari

Since then, however, I’ve switched to the Min browser. But it was super empowering to make a console-based interface and I’m looking forward to trying it again soon.

I’m excited to dig into this a bit and possibly add Safari support. I recently built a script (https://github.com/incanus/fari) for Curses-based (terminal) navigation of Safari tabs with hopes of adding management functionality in the future.

Check this out - https://github.com/ggerganov/imtui - it's imgui for tui, and I guess one can compile it as wasm and run there!

Curses is the de facto TUI base, but there is no de facto standard C++ wrapper around curses. Google has FlatUI, FTXUI and Notcurses are popular, imtui is directly inspired by Dear ImGui. The list goes on and on, there are plenty of popular TUI libraries that all build upon Curses.

This can be as easy as wrapping a simple stdin/stdout loop with rlwrap, all the way to using full featured TUI libraries like bubbletea (golang), textual (python) or imtui (c++).

Second case is trickier. You probably want to check imtui or similar APIs.

imtui

I wouldn't call it standard, but https://github.com/ggerganov/imtui is pretty cool. It puts https://github.com/ocornut/imgui over ncurses.
