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.

Writing TUI with Ratatouille
Most answers were a code-golf style with writing the full functionality in least number of lines of code. I took a different approach. Since some time already I wanted to try out Ratatouille - an Elixir toolkit for writing TUI (Terminal UI), based on termbox.

I looking for a TUI liberary/framework with good aesthetics.
If you want to go lower-level, then I would recommend against ncurses, and instead start with notcurses or termbox. termbox has lots of language bindings, but the author is no longer maintaining it. Still, not a bad place to start from. If you do decide to get into ncurses, this doc can get you over some of the humps with keyboard/screen/mouse.

How to embed advanced links in terminal?
Alternatively, there's termbox: https://github.com/nsf/termbox (minimalistic). Or prompt_toolkit: https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit (huge).

Using Textual to Build a ChatGPT TUI App
Several libraries, such as urwid or PyTermGUI, allow the development of TUI applications in Python. For enhancing the functionality and aesthetics of TUI apps, they offer some fundamental and more sophisticated utilities. But there is one package that is truly exceptional and might even be so amazing that it sparks a TUI renaissance (I really wanted to put "TUI renaissance" somewhere in this article).

How difficult is ncurses?
There are plenty of terminal UI libraries that are actually nice to work with. For Python, there's Textual and PyTermGUI. For Rust, there's ratatui and Cursive (or, if you want something a bit lower level, crosster or termion). For Go, there's bubbletea.

Any Good Recommendations for a Tutorial on PyTermGUI?
Talking about resources, their docs are pretty good and contains some examples too. Documentation: https://ptg.bczsalba.com/pytermgui.html

Create TUI's (Terminal User Interface) using Textual
Have you tried PyTermGUI? It looks promising, but I wonder if there are any pitfalls. I need to build a professional CLI for a robot, and half-baked packages just won't do.

Looking for Github projects with strong communities and Discords. Active and frequently mentoring new-comers.
While the community is relatively small right now, my TUI framework PyTermGUI has a lot of the attributes you're looking for! We don't currently have a section dedicated to this yet, but if you come to the discord I'm sure we can help you :)
- Version 7.2.0 brings automatically generated palettes using color theory!
- The brand-new TIM engine arrives with version 7.0.0!
-
Verison 6.3.0 has cometh, featuring the new InputField!
Check out the changelog here.
- Ask HN: Are there any high-level TUI tools?

Menus in Python
I suspect that the reason you didn't find much is that usually people need a whole textual user interface (or TUI). And there's quite a few libraries for those, like pytermgui or textual, and some more low-level tools in that area like prompt-toolkit
What are some alternatives?
Ncurses - ncurses Git mirror
picotui - Lightweight, pure-Python Text User Interface (TUI) widget toolkit with minimal dependencies. Dedicated to the Pycopy project.
args - A simple header-only C++ argument parser library. Supposed to be flexible and powerful, and attempts to be compatible with the functionality of the Python standard argparse library (though not necessarily the API).
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.
docopt.cpp - C++11 port of docopt
py_cui - A python library for intuitively creating CUI/TUI interfaces with widgets, inspired by gocui.
gflags - The gflags package contains a C++ library that implements commandline flags processing. It includes built-in support for standard types such as string and the ability to define flags in the source file in which they are used. Online documentation available at:
rich - Rich is a Python library for rich text and beautiful formatting in the terminal.
rang - A Minimal, Header only Modern c++ library for terminal goodies 💄✨
urwid - Console user interface library for Python (official repo)
jarro2783/cxxopts - Lightweight C++ command line option parser
black - The uncompromising Python code formatter
