Qubes Tricks
Very interesting! I was thinking literally yesterday about a TUI/GUI Qubes type concept, maybe also applicable for industrial type data diodes.

I made a tool to generate ANSI escape codes, so you can easily add colors to your scripts.
I did something like that once. Is your project online somewhere? I'm always curious what else is going on. :)

Jexer 1.6.0 release - Java advanced TUI framework
When I transliterated from D to Java around 2015, Java wasn't quite the "uninteresting" language it is perceived to be today. But all along I had hoped others might pick up some tricks, and put some notes on porting it here. Yet Java's been a pretty solid workhorse for me, and having the Swing GUI to test on was a godsend actually once I got into images.

Show HN: Java TUI framework with sixel image support
If you code in Java, and like TUI (console type applications), then you might enjoy Jexer: https://gitlab.com/klamonte/jexer
I started Jexer in 2013, and off-and-on it's gotten better. I think my favorite part has been crossing paths with other terminal emulator ecosystem folks over the last few years. This release brings a few prettified effects inspired by other projects that you are all hopefully quite familiar with (notcurses, chafa, and vtm):
* Translucent windows, including images under/over each other and text.
* Animated/pulsing text
* Animated gifs
* A new XtermVideoPlayer example that uses ffmpeg/JavaCV to play movies inside a text-draggable window. (No audio though.)
* New button styles: round, diamond, left/right arrows. The button ends and shadows are drawn with images so specific font support is not required.
* A _much_ faster and _much_ higher quality sixel encoder.
* Different window border styles: single, double, none, and rounded corners.
* A femme theme option.
Some screenshots are posted here: https://twitter.com/AutumnMeowMeow/status/148922891703050240...
It's on maven and Sourceforge.

Released 1.6 of my hobby project - advanced TUI framework
If you code in Java, and like TUI (console type applications), and enjoy transfemme in-jokes, then you might also enjoy jexer.

So did y'all know that SyncTERM 1.1 has sixel support? That's so cool!
A path that started in the BBS era and is currently bringing DOOM to Xterm. And ironically, there is much better support for this now than there ever was for RIPscript.

I'm working on a commandline app that plays videos, any feedback is welcome
Story time: when I first posted Jexer to Reddit, people were all "twin does that". No, it does not. twin does not pass vttest. twin has almost no widgets. twin does not support images at all, it does not multiplex images, it does not multihead images, and it does not play videos (a bit too slowly but still) in a text draggable/resizable window that could be part of a larger system. mpv/mplayer doesn't do those things either. In fact, the only two projects I know of that can do these kinds of tricks are Jexer and notcurses. (And notcurses is hella faster and great, and I would have used it in 2013 when I started Jexer, but it didn't exist then.)

Terminal Technical Resources
One way to do translucent windows. - Inspired by notcurses

Why are kitty and alacritty so popular? Where's the foot love?
foot is great, dnkl is great. It's so far the fastest sixel-supporting terminal I've got to test XtermDOOM on. (I run iTerm2-based images against wezterm.)

Display images in the terminal
It parses them, but then reduces to the 8/16 ANSI colors. Which makes translucent TUI windows not work. :(

Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones?
As someone who writes software for moderately boring business operations, I've been wondering making terminal-based apps with lots of keyboard shortcuts would lead to a more productive end user than writing a web app.
I've been looking at https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui but haven't tried it yet.
- Forget MAUI; Get TUI! - C#'s best cross platform console UI toolkit ships first 2.0 alpha package (Terminal.Gui)

Hello everyone, I made a Windows 10/11 Multitool app with Winforms. I'm just gonna share some screenshots.
Thanks but I'm sticking with Terminal.Gui

Made a simple text based little game to re-learn c#
Used this neat library to handle the GUI gui-cs/Terminal.Gui: Cross Platform Terminal UI toolkit for .NET (github.com)

What your hidden nuget gems ?
Terminal.GUI - cross platform terminal UI for .NET: https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui

Textual (TUI framework) widget gallery
Two I've used are Terminal.Gui for .net https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui and BubbleTea for Go https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea

UI framework for games on Linux with c#
In that case you can use console (https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui) to make games.

Managing Powershell collections graphically
As you can see the tool is always integrated into the terminal because it has built on a cross platform UI toolkit based on a fantastic open source project called Terminal.Gui. Now you can select the objects by using space bar and than confirm the selection with enter. The result will be:

What python/C# GUI library would be best for my project?
C# - https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui
-
c# native with a gui
Since you mentioned minimal GUI, have you thought of a TUI? I haven't spiked it out but I would guess Terminal.Gui would work with Native AOT
What are some alternatives?

python-prompt-toolkit - Library for building powerful interactive command line applications in Python
Command Line Parser - The best C# command line parser that brings standardized *nix getopt style, for .NET. Includes F# support
