Building Rich Terminal Dashboards
There's a slick little Haskell library that does something similar called reflex-vty:
https://github.com/reflex-frp/reflex-vty#reflex-vty
One thing neither of these libraries appear to have done yet that I would really like is create a more compact window rendering. Currently each window gets a 1-character border. What I would like is something that saves space by collapsing adjacent windows' borders into a single character instead of having two redundant borders next to each other. Of course I get why they do it the way they do, but terminals are often more constrained for space and with complex UIs you can lose a fair amount due to these unnecessary borders. That would be the next thing I'd hack on to improve these kinds of libraries. But alas...too many fun projects to hack on and not enough hours in the day.

good high-level ncurses library
I still can't tear myself away from blessed-contrib and it's unfortunate to see that these projects are not very maintained

Dear Redditors! Can someone please explain to me how this widget works?
Link:https://github.com/yaronn/blessed-contrib PS I'm sorry for the bad English
- does anyone know of libraries with which I can make a text element on the site (as in the example)

Command line applications
Yes, you can create whatever you want - from simple CLI utils , through moderately complex interactive tools (example by me), to complex, full-fledged command line applications (example, another example).
- An idea for a virtual pet in my Linux terminal

Table and color formats
On Rust/WASM I have been playing around with using TUI which is a lib inspired by the NodeJS library Blessed Contrib which might me a good idea to look at (not sure how well it works with javascript though). I have also used Comfy-table with Rust for simple table output.

I created an htop-like terminal dashboard for viewing and managing docker containers, written in Node
✅ Built with the Node.js, blessed, and blessed-contrib
- I made a terminal utility to monitor some system stats. Was wondering if you guys know of anything better or if I should continue dev work on it since we need it?
