Code Feedback For OSINT Tool
You are using print statements too much. I understand the use due to it being a CLI application but still I suggest you look at textualize.

coBib 4.0: a modern UI using Textualize libraries
For more than a year I have been refactoring coBib, getting rid of its original ncurses-based TUI in favor of a more modern and a lot more maintainable textual-based TUI. Developing it has been a lot of fun and I must say that the team over at Textualize is doing a great job at developing libraries which are somehow very powerful and extensible while still being easy to use!
- Is anyone still making text user interfaces for end users?

Chatting with Will McGugan: From Side Project To Startup
Will McGugan is among the most well-known Python developers. He's the author of Rich, a library for formatting output in the terminal. It's used, among others, by pip, and has more than 40K stars on GitHub. In 2021, Will started building Textual, a TUI (text user interface) framework based on Rich. At the end of the year, he founded the company Textualize.

A ‘Software Developer’ Knows Enough to Deliver Working Software Alone and in Teams
It depends on the scale of the project but man, if you can't build a simple CRUD app in your preferred stack and deploy it in some fashion (even if it's just a binary posted on some website, kinda like Exa) then that's just disappointing...

macOS Command-Line Tools You Might Not Know About
Some of us don't want all of GNU's utilities; just on an as-needed basis. They're not as needed as they once were.
Many of these utilities have been rewritten in Rust and have more modern features.
For example, instead of ls, I use exa [1]. Or ripgrep [2] instead of grep.

List of apps I use every day - Version 2023
fish: A very fast shell with various customization options to streamline daily commands. I discovered it through this post by @caarlos0, where he provides more details about performance and the differences between fish and zsh. Additionally, I use some CLI utilities like delta, exa, and ripgrep. Here's my dotfiles for fish.

Everything I Installed on My New Mac
I still use exa for listing files in the terminal. It's a modern replacement for ls with a lot of useful features. With icons, colors, and git integration, it makes listing files much nicer.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing rich-cli and exa you can also consider the following projects:
bat - A cat(1) clone with wings.
lsd - The next gen ls command
rich - Rich is a Python library for rich text and beautiful formatting in the terminal.
colorls - A Ruby gem that beautifies the terminal's ls command, with color and font-awesome icons. :tada:
fzf - :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder
fish-shell - The user-friendly command line shell.
textual - The lean application framework for Python. Build sophisticated user interfaces with a simple Python API. Run your apps in the terminal and a web browser.
fd - A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'
pls - `pls` is a prettier and powerful `ls(1)` for the pros.
coreutils - Cross-platform Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils
term-keys - Lossless keyboard input for Emacs
