spectre.console VS Gui.cs

I like this one for .NET https://github.com/spectreconsole/spectre.console which I found in this list https://github.com/shadawck/awesome-cli-frameworks.

The following code sample (a console project) uses Spectre.Console NuGet package to provide easy methods for gathering user input like first and last name of type string or perhaps birth date for a DateOnly property.

🔴 [spectre.console] A .NET library that makes it easier to create beautiful, cross platform, console applications.

https://github.com/spectreconsole/spectre.console for doing pretty Cli applications

A friend and me have been working on an opinionated wrapper around the popular Spectre.Console. We call it SpectreCoff (Spectre.Console for F#).

Spectre.Console for enhanced console writting.

Add the NuGet package Spectre.Console to the project

By using open source library like Spectre.Console creating useful console applications easy. Spectre.Console also makes it easy to create dotnet tools, see documentation and check out their GitHub repository.

Thanks but I'm sticking with Terminal.Gui

Used this neat library to handle the GUI gui-cs/Terminal.Gui: Cross Platform Terminal UI toolkit for .NET (github.com)

Terminal.GUI - cross platform terminal UI for .NET: https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui

Two I've used are Terminal.Gui for .net https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui and BubbleTea for Go https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea

In that case you can use console (https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui) to make games.

As you can see the tool is always integrated into the terminal because it has built on a cross platform UI toolkit based on a fantastic open source project called Terminal.Gui. Now you can select the objects by using space bar and than confirm the selection with enter. The result will be:

C# - https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui

Since you mentioned minimal GUI, have you thought of a TUI? I haven't spiked it out but I would guess Terminal.Gui would work with Native AOT

I've had to resort to make TUIs with https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui because there's no sane way to make a GUI app in Linux without a 300-files boilerplate or obscure languages.
