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.

Neat Parallel Output in Python
There is an open issue [1] on GitHub to make it more modular and get rid of markdown and syntax highlighting but I have no hope for rich to get more minimal.

Python 3.12
They keep getting improved error messaging and this is one of my favorite features. But I'd love if we could get some real rich text. Idk if anyone else uses rich, but it has infected all my programs now. Not just to print with colors, but because it makes debugging so much easier. Not just print(f"{var=}") but the handler[0,1]. Color is so important to these types of things and so is formatting. Plus, the progress bars are nice and have almost completely replaced tqdm for me[2]. They're just easier and prettier.

[2] Side note: does anyone know how to get these properly working when using DDP with pytorch? I get flickering when using this and I think it is actually down to a pytorch issue and how they're handling their loggers and flushing the screen. I know pytorch doesn't want to depend on rich, but hey, pip uses rich so why shouldn't everyone?

colors.crumb - first Crumb usable. Extending Crumb with basic terminal styling and RGB, HEX, ANSI conversion functions.
colors.crumb extends Crumb with basic terminal styling functions and RGB, HEX, ANSI conversion functions. It is in the realm of JavaScript's chalk and Python's rich but slightly more functional 😉.

Textual: Rapid Application Development Framework for Python
I am working on a new python project and one of the first things I added was https://github.com/Textualize/rich because of how easy it is to make things look good in the terminal.

What are you rewriting in rust?
I am not rewriting anything but I'd love to have a library like `rich` in Rust: https://github.com/textualize/rich

I made a library for making user terminal input really really pretty!
You might consider taking inspiration from the rich module. In particular, I like how rich supports inline color theming which seems much more cumbersome in your framework, requiring the use of context managers as well as familiarity with how your framework structures color objects. Other than that though, I'm impressed!

Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones?
Here's an "awesome" TUI list I like: https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis
And here's a list I made myself, the ones with rainbows have TUIs or pretty colors:

Contour: Modern and Fast Terminal Emulator
> Editing multiline inputs is awful.
Outside of "line at a time" i/o (a rarely used mode where an entire line is edited locally and then sent to the host), most of what users see is as interactive is controlled by the program you are interacting with. The terminal just takes commands from the host and does what it is told. BTW, line at a time mode isn't used that much. The only thing I use that uses line at a time mode is telenet in LINEMODE.
> Navigating history is so-so
Yes, that is because the program you are likely interacting with where history is relevant implements it's own repl or command line (i.e. bash, zsh, python, etc...) and it is responsible for it's own history and may implement it completely differently than say, bash or zsh.
> Why are terminals always stuck in the 70s? Can I get a modern terminal?
We do have a modern terminal: the web browser... and it's pretty nice.
There have been a ton of tries at more modern terminals, but ultimately, they end up really being limited by the software running in the terminal session. In the 90s we had a ton of commercial terminal emulators that would allow you to create full guis, complete with dialogs and forms. In the 00's there were a few tries at terminals that would allow html output and embedding of html forms for input (can't remember the names of them). I suppose there's also the whole X11 thing... which is so good enough that it's really hard to kill.
Let's get back to character mode:
A lot of interactive terminal software is built using different libraries - so sometimes you get a terminal gui based on ncurses, terminal.gui, or something else... here's a list: https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis#libraries. Most of these libraries try to use most of the features in your terminal emulator, but often, just use stuff that is in everything.
For command line programs (i.e. just type a command), a lot of the experience is dictated by the parser used by the tool and whatever the underlying operating system has for passing arguments. Some shells and terminal emulators (like iTerm2 on mac) try to smooth this out, but again, there's a lot of variety in command line parsers.
Probably the biggest modern improvement in the shell world was gettext and various command-line completion libraries which allows command parameter completion if the developer supports it or uses a parser that supports completion. But none of this is the terminal itself doing the work.

DIY nas,suggestions for how to have an OLED screen like qnap showing space available, current IP,etc
Haven't done much in grafana but probably use that to constantly output to a small display. Depending on if you want to install a display server... Seems like there are lots of options, maybe grafterm is what you're looking for: https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis

What's the most beautifully designed TUI-app you've used?
Have a browse at the awesome-tui list and in the reddit search bar: this question is asked quite often and there are already plenty of answers :)

[Possibly OT] Is there a list of command-line versions of any Unix/Linux GUI applications?
https://github.com/toolleeo/cli-apps and https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis? Though it doesn't mention a specific GUI apps (eg, Lynx is under either Web Browser or Web on those lists), and it's just lists, no actual comparison or review etc. I usually found AlternativeTo to be somewhat decent start to see what features and alternatives I can expect across platform.
What are some alternatives?
