lipgloss VS spectre.console

I recommend looking at the charm libraries. Lip gloss https://github.com/charmbracelet/lipgloss can provide the styling and bubble tea can handle the screen updates and framework https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea there is a premade progress bar component in bubbles library. https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles

I saw https://github.com/charmbracelet/lipgloss and was wondering if there is anything equivalent in the JVM ecosystem. I couldn't find anything so I started crawling its deps tree and reimplementing to fall asleep at night.

nhooyr/websocket, shollz/pake, charmbracelet/bubbles, charmbracelet/bubbletea, charmbracelet/lipgloss, muesli/reflow, klauspost/pgzip and many, many more.

Off the top of my head i am thinking of charmbracelet/lipgloss but I don't know if its the best suited to my use case.

Predefined colors for lipgloss

Yes i've seen the centered text. Take a look at lipglossif you don't mind adding dependencies, they make the styling much more easier in my opinion.

At Charm, we generally use Go for all our libraries like Bubble Tea, Bubbles, and Lip Gloss. Go should be easy to pick up if you know JavaScript and Python. That being said there are also fantastic libraries available for Python (https://github.com/Textualize/rich) and JavaScript as well.

I think you can, but if you're using Go I would recommend using Bubble Tea, Bubbles, and Lip Gloss for better customizability and flexibility (you can also use the gum code as reference).

I like this one for .NET https://github.com/spectreconsole/spectre.console which I found in this list https://github.com/shadawck/awesome-cli-frameworks.

The following code sample (a console project) uses Spectre.Console NuGet package to provide easy methods for gathering user input like first and last name of type string or perhaps birth date for a DateOnly property.
