tui-rs VS sysinfo

The TUI is built with the awesome Ratatui [0] library (formerly tui-rs [1]). UX is certainly not my area of expertise and I would not have been able to create Trippy without this library.

Rust has great libraries for TUIs. tui-rs (https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs) has been used in numerous popular applications, but is unmaintained. ratatui (https://github.com/tui-rs-revival/ratatui) is the maintained version, and is pretty new. Less widely known is cursive (https://github.com/gyscos/cursive), which I have yet to try.

Aside from the libraries, I just wanted to start a project that would make be better at Rust. The easy distribution with cargo is a huge bonus though.

CLI, use Clap. If you want to get fancy, use Tui.

u/lordnacho666 It uses the fabulous https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs (now revived as https://github.com/tui-rs-revival/ratatui) TUI lib.

This app is based on the these two crate in rust (tui-rs , tui-textarea). The text area provide the Emacs motions and I integrated the vim motions there, but the editor in this app as much simpler than the huge VIM and Emacs systems

If you interested in the TUI apps in rust you can start with the crate tui-rs or its revival ratatui. They have examples inside of them which you can start and see the source code to get the basic functionalities. For the text editor you can check examples in the crate tui-textarea.

For Golang there is Bubbletea [1], Textual [2] for Python and tui-rs for Rust [3].

A month ago, we have announced that we were working on reviving the tui crate since the original maintainer had expressed that he couldn't find time to continue development. Since then, we have been working on merging the PRs from the original repository and overall improving the codebase/documentation. We also decided on a new name (ratatui) and a logo for the organization.

git clone https://github.com/GuillaumeGomez/sysinfo.git

Well, here's the bug report: https://github.com/GuillaumeGomez/sysinfo/issues/570

What I find most strange is that the simple.rs works without issues, even though it calls System::new_all() in roughly the same way. Anyway, I was trying to list the processes running on the computer. I found another way to do that was to call Get-Processes on the powershell and get it into a string, it's kind of janky but it works.

Try to run the benchmarks. They might be doing what you're trying to achieve.

sysinfo is a cross platform library providing visibility in the system status. Had one my first rust PRs merged in, with tiny fix.

I've been working on FreeBSD support for sysinfo. I'm very new to both FreeBSD and unsafe Rust, so I have the Nomicon open in one monitor, and the FreeBSD man pages and source open in another.

Some time ago, someone opened an issue about invalid CPU usage numbers on the new mac processors: https://github.com/GuillaumeGomez/sysinfo/issues/447

sysinfo = { git = "https://github.com/GuillaumeGomez/sysinfo", branch = "mac-cpu-computation" } ```
