Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Fast memory vulnerabilities, written in 100% safe Rust
> If someone plopped me in front of a rust codebase I'd be at the mercy of the manual for quite a long time.
This is not a representative sample of Rust. That's explicitly triggering edge cases which requires abuse of syntax you wouldn't normally see.
Check out this for something more realistic that anyone should understand https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/blob/main/examples/ca...

Show HN: Muse, a CLI background music player
nice work!
can I use "cargo install --git https://github.com/aabiji/muse"?
I also recommend:
https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui
https://github.com/mikaelmello/inquire
for your further development
I also have a Rust CLI music project here if you want to have a look

Ratatui
There are apps that are built on ratatui that support mouse already including an example in the repo[1], and crates (and some internal changes to the buffer) to support iterm/kitty/sixel based images.[2]

[2]: https://crates.io/crates/ratatui-image
Compared to TurboVision, Ratatui has a lot of missing things:
- Containers
- Dialog types (I'm working on this in https://github.com/joshka/tui-prompts)
- Higher order combinations of widgets (e.g. combine the scrollbar and paragraph)
- Menus
- Any event system (apps bring their own - we just handle display)
- etc.
- There's lots of things in TV that are provided as external crates (like editors, treeview, etc.)
The main thing is that Ratatui is at least right now, just the display side of things. Things to do with events or application shell aren't built-in. This somewhat stems from the immediate vs retained mode approach to the library, but this may change in the future.

Trippy – A Network Diagnostic Tool
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.

Projectable: A TUI file manager built for projects
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.

How difficult is ncurses?
There are plenty of terminal UI libraries that are actually nice to work with. For Python, there's Textual and PyTermGUI. For Rust, there's ratatui and Cursive (or, if you want something a bit lower level, crosster or termion). For Go, there's bubbletea.

AMDGPU_TOP v0.1.2 - switch to crossterm-backend, add simple fdinfo viewer
Switching the backend of Cursive to crossterm removed dependence on ncurses

Appreciation post
I'd hear of TUIs so I just searched for tui libraries in Rust and Cursive seemed like a good choice and it turned out great!

Sharing Saturday #455
This weekend I started porting my game to a different UI library (egui) as a way of familiarizing myself with egui. I don't think I'll have something useable to build off of before this year's 7DRL challenge so I guess I'll be reusing my existing UI code (using cursive). But, once I finish porting the UI it should be a lot easier to add fancy stuff like animations, tooltips, and graphical tiles since I won't be tied to constraints of a terminal UI.

CLIs and TUIs packages
Cursive should let you easily build a layout with a menu and status bars (and mouse works).

Dwarf Fortress – randomly generated, persistent fantasy world
The thing that gets me about Dwarf Fortress is that it's a 64-bit text-mode game.
As a grey-haired developer who got excited about "DOS Extenders" that allowed 32-bit mode, seeing a text-mode game written as a native 64-bit application is bizarrely anachronistic.
I get a similar feeling from text-mode GUI frameworks for Rust, which allow multi-threading and 64-bit but are essentially clones of Borland Turbo Vision, where you had to be mindful to keep lists smaller than 64KB: https://github.com/gyscos/cursive
