lipgloss VS tui-rs

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.

Or, quit worrying about how to fix every utility ever, and just make a nice-looking ZFS TUI with "Are you sure?" boxes and progress bars, using Lip Gloss. That kind of thinking has led to about 50 offshoots of the top utility. (Nothing wrong with that. Long may they all run!)

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.

The TUI is built with the awesome Ratatui [0] library (formerly tui-rs [1]). UX is certainly not my area of expertise and I would not have been able to create Trippy without this library.

Rust has great libraries for TUIs. tui-rs (https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs) has been used in numerous popular applications, but is unmaintained. ratatui (https://github.com/tui-rs-revival/ratatui) is the maintained version, and is pretty new. Less widely known is cursive (https://github.com/gyscos/cursive), which I have yet to try.

Aside from the libraries, I just wanted to start a project that would make be better at Rust. The easy distribution with cargo is a huge bonus though.

CLI, use Clap. If you want to get fancy, use Tui.

u/lordnacho666 It uses the fabulous https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs (now revived as https://github.com/tui-rs-revival/ratatui) TUI lib.

This app is based on the these two crate in rust (tui-rs , tui-textarea). The text area provide the Emacs motions and I integrated the vim motions there, but the editor in this app as much simpler than the huge VIM and Emacs systems

If you interested in the TUI apps in rust you can start with the crate tui-rs or its revival ratatui. They have examples inside of them which you can start and see the source code to get the basic functionalities. For the text editor you can check examples in the crate tui-textarea.

For Golang there is Bubbletea [1], Textual [2] for Python and tui-rs for Rust [3].

You can check tui-rs, is a library to build CLI interfaces and has some examples about using user input without blocking the UI
