Xterm.js
I just want to say thanks, I have been experimenting with using xterm.js to connect to terminal API in jupyter notebooks and it was worked really well, plug and play (even editors like vim were working without any extra effort).
Before that I was experimenting with using it as a custom shell for running commands inside a web application. In that use case it was a bit more challenging because I had never written to an actual tty before (ansi escape codes for coloring log files has been about the limit of my experience). For that use case I just really needed to send and receive text. I ended up using this library [ https://github.com/wavesoft/local-echo ] to smooth that process out until I could learn about how to do things properly.
Are any suggestions on 1. where to learn about how ttys work to things the right way, or 2. suggested libraries like local-echo that can wrap over some of the trickier bits of just getting text on the screen?
Thanks again for maintaining such a great & useful library!

Ink: React for interactive command-line apps
Alas https://github.com/chjj/blessed/issues/418#issuecomment-1533...
I considered blessed for a recent project, but ended up just simplifying the approach & making do with Inquirer + Meow instead due to the maintenance status. Haven't found anything else equivalent to blessed, other than Ink.

My 2022 side project: @steggy/tty. Custom widgets and utilities for building terminal apps on top of NestJS. Looking for testers / feedback
Inquirer is still probably the library that is most similar, if you are looking for comparisons to existing tools. My goal was to create a set of tools that uses the terminal window for a single operation at a time. The UI providing as much contextual information as possible to the user to know what actions they can perform, and any relevant information. A bit like a "choose your adventure" via terminal app sort of thing. Explicitly trying to stay clear of full screen and dashboard type stuff, like what blessed provides.

Like seriously why does not one does it ?
Not exactly a shell scripting framework, but y’all should check out blessed js. Weirdly enough I just found it yesterday and shit goes absolutely wild in the terminal

Command line applications
You can build them from scratch, or use one of many specialized libraries on NPM, like commander, yargs, blessed, terminal kit, prompts, and many more.

get input from user while continuously outputting
This is where libraries come in: https://github.com/chjj/blessed - this allows you to manage rendering in the terminal on your own, so you can have a scrolling box of text at the top and a "command line" at the bottom.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (28/2022)!
I was hoping to write my app in Rust as a learning exercise, but my alternative is https://www.npmjs.com/package/blessed, which is NodeJS. Ah well.
