indicatif VS bottom

You'd want to build it yourself using a mixture of something like inquire or dialoguer and a spinner library like the one I linked or indicatif.

This appears to clear the screen. Users don't really like this :( Instead I'd use a library to update the progress, maybe https://github.com/console-rs/indicatif ?

This uses rand and xcomplex to handle the mathematics, png to write image files, and dialoguer and indicatif for some pretty prompts and progress bars.

It's pretty much WIP at this point. Currently trying to use indicatif to add nice and fancy progress bars. I'm having some struggles with it but slowly getting there and the overall process is pretty fun 😌

surprised not to see fzf

also someone showed https://github.com/console-rs/indicatif/ recently (a tqdm like progress bar)

These are just release notes, but the actual readme does have those: https://github.com/console-rs/indicatif. And lots of examples in the repo :).

bottom

I'd suggest Bottom as a TUI alternative to the in-built task managers - https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom

It works on Windows also.

If anyone is looking for a "top" like, written in Rust, might have a look at https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom

Looks like bottom with another theme

bottom - A cross-platform graphical process/system monitor with a customizable interface and a multitude of features.

As a macOS user, it boils my brain whenever I've to type in something like ~/Library/Application Support/org.rust-lang.Cargo/config.toml. macOS users have been begging CLI tools to support XDG variables on macOS too. Setting defaults is a strong indication to the community what should be the "preferred" locations. The defaults defined in your article will invariably lead to some authors saying that if that path is good enough for cargo, then it is good enough for their tool. Even the latest draft RFC acknowledges that macOS should use XDG variables too. I've written more about this here.
