Introducing ROSboard: Visualizations in the web browser
I’m the author of ROSshow (GitHub - dheera/rosshow: Visualize ROS topics inside a terminal with Unicode/ASCII art 3), which lets you visualize ROS topics with ASCII art.

Telnet Mapscii.me
I do something very similar in ROSshow for NavSatFix (GPS) messages: https://github.com/dheera/rosshow
https://github.com/dheera/rosshow/raw/master/screenshot3.png...
It also has a pure ASCII mode:
https://github.com/dheera/rosshow/raw/master/screenshot3-asc...
Unfortunately this utility isn't really usable outside of the context of robotics and ROS but one could extract the map rendering functionality and create a separate utility out if it if they wished.
The main difference in approach between this and Mapscii is that I actually just convert raster map tiles from OSM instead of using the vector data.

Building Rich Terminal Dashboards
I built a visualization tool for ROS topics that uses Braille to achieve a dot-based interface in the terminal:
https://github.com/dheera/rosshow
I imagine a lot of it could also be re-used in creating terminal dashboards for other purposes.

Best Javascript libraries for TUI development?
I found blessed but it seems like it was last updated 8 years ago. So what are my options?
-
good high-level ncurses library
So far I found this library github.com/chjj/blessed which is very powerful, I need to render animated charts and other complex objects and for my purpose it is doing well.

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
-
NodeJS Backend with UI Help. New to UI/Frameworks
Perhaps you’d like a terminal based UI? https://github.com/chjj/blessed
-
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.
