Should you add screenshots to documentation?
The Textual project has a lot of screenshots in its documentation. These screenshots are built with the docs, so they are always up to date.

PysimpleGUI
Textual[0] does this for CLI apps. That’s not for full GUI apps, but it’s very DOM-like, uses CSS selectors, etc. and a cool option when it meets your needs.

Ask HN: Why Did Python Win?
I think it just survived naturally, filling in the cracks left by Java / C++.
And not the era of Textual (https://textual.textualize.io/) is here, python may get the spotlight even more.

Textual: A Python Text User Interface with Rich as the Renderer
It's great to see some more competitors on the TUI front of the Python ecosystem! I recently tried multiple existing frameworks and was not particularly happy with the state.
Here are the main contenders for libraries that provide higher-level API than urwid/ncurses:
* Picotui, https://github.com/pfalcon/picotui
* Npyscreen, https://github.com/npcole/npyscreen
* py_cui, https://github.com/jwlodek/py_cui
Both Picotui and Npyscreen are relatively unmaintained / considered feature-full. py_cui seems to be in the best shape.
Fingers crossed for this project making it through, building on top of Rich gives it quite a bit of headstart. You can also sponsor @willmcgugan on Github [0].
