hackernews-TUI VS tcell

Considering that I only access reddit either occasionally from Relay on my phone or primarily modified version of the terminal TUI tuir (They killed the API token for TUIR, but you can still use it if you setup your own API key.) which I'm using now to write this comment from, it would likely reduce my Reddit usage by >90%. I usually have tuir nested in a tmux session, which I would likely change to a hackernews reader like hackernews-TUI.

Hi everyone, this is my second "Show HN" submission posted in Hacker News. The first one was https://github.com/aome510/hackernews-TUI. I received a lot of good feedbacks and suggestions from the community back then. For the second one, I also look forward to hearing the community's opinions.

A bit background on the project: I started `hackernews-tui` and after that `spotify-player` (both are terminal application) because I want to learn Rust and build applications with Rust which I'm able to use daily.

`spotify-player` is a terminal application that can be used as either a remote player to control another Spotify client or a local player with an integrated Spotify client. So if you already know spotify-tui[1] or ncspot[2], `spotify-player` is kinda a simplified combination of both =).

I have two demo videos for the application, one in youtube https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Jbfe9GLNWbA and the another in asciicast https://asciinema.org/a/446913.

Hope you guys give it a try. Any feedbacks are highly appreciated!

FYI, I have implemented a reader view for `hackernews_tui v0.6.0` [0] which seems to satisfy most of the conditions above. Judging from my experience, this reader view works quite well and can cover many use cases.

I have used https://github.com/gdamore/tcell/ for github.com/raff/gio-games/arrows (look at game_term.go that is the terminal version, alternative to the gio/graphical version)

Hi im using linux (distro: Fedora 37) and I dont i have problems with installing go modules. When i run the commands in terminal (bash) "go install github.com/gdamore/tcell/v2" it gives me this error: "go: 'go install' requires a version when current directory is not in a module Try 'go install github.com/gdamore/tcell/v2@latest' to install the latest version" So when I run the command: "go install github.com/gdamore/tcell/vs@latest" I get this error: "package github.com/gdamore/tcell/v2 is not a main package". Please someone help.

Hi guys, I have fixed the problem. The problem was as stated: remove terminal behavior like when a key is pressed and held it does not work as needed. For example if I want to move character when user press key the player (character) will move one step then stops then move fast like text curser. The solution is not by using [Console Screen Buffer] the Tcell is enough, But the problem is caused by the way the input is read from the user as u/pekim says in comments it is a "Typical behaviour in most environments (not just Windows)". So to fix this you need to use windows API (w32) and read key using GetAsyncKeyState() that will fix the problem.

There's quite a variety of tui libraries in Go with all kinds of different tradeoffs. Likely you won't find one that does just exactly what you want (paren matching support seems particularly unlikely out of the box, dunno if you'll find something you can plug in). tview and the underlying, lower-level tcell may be useful. I see termbox mentioned a lot here though that looks more like a toolbox for building such things than a solution itself.

There's also tcell

How about some libraries that help with building TUIs?

I'll start with https://github.com/gdamore/tcell

(notcurses is the first in C, and currently best globally. The first in Rust might be tui-rs. The first in Go might be tcell.)

a Snake Game implication in Go using 2d array. https://github.com/twiny/snaky it runs on terminal window using github.com/gdamore/tcell/v2/termbox to render Snake movement.
