Rich Interactive Widgets for Terminal UIs VS bubbletea

I've had fun writing an app with https://github.com/rivo/tview.

Spotify-TUI was developed in Rust, therefore I couldn’t simply use the same UI framework. Within Go a popular choice is tview https://github.com/rivo/tview which provides many similar UI widgets which covered all my needs.

. Web backend (with various frameworks available) . Web Assembly (one of them is vugu framework) . Microservices (some frameworks: Go Micro, Go Kit, Gizmo, Kite) . Fragments services (Term mentioned by @jeffotoni in a microservices discussion group) . Lambdas (FaaS example) . Client Server . Terminal applications (using the tview lib) . IoT (some frameworks) . Bots (some here) . Client Applications using Web technology . Desktop using Qt+QML, Native Win Lib (example Qt, Qt widgets, Qml) . Network Applications . Protocol applications . REST Applications . SOAP Applications . GraphQL Applications . RPC Applications . TCP Applications . gRPC Applications . WebSocket Applications . GopherJS (compiles Go to JavaScript)

The jist of what I did: The TUI lib I used was https://github.com/rivo/tview. While technically a TUI, it didn't look like one. Tui gave me components for user input, context-aware output formatting, and configurable hotkeys and command shortcuts. History was just an in-memory string map bound to a hotkey.

tview is built on top of the tcell library mentioned in another comment. I liked it so much that I forked it as cview.

It's tview, the same framework underlying awesome k9s project.

A tui client for WhatsApp. My first ever go project!!! As a very slow learner I am really proud of how far I could bullshit my way through it. I used tview and whatsmeow for this.

After a user request cycle, however, the tview textarea widget is now in active development so stay tuned!

I recommend looking at the charm libraries. Lip gloss https://github.com/charmbracelet/lipgloss can provide the styling and bubble tea can handle the screen updates and framework https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea there is a premade progress bar component in bubbles library. https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles

I built a TUI app to find anime scenes by image to learn the TUI framework [Bubbletea](https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea)

TUI’s are awesome; I’ve used this library to build them in the past: https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea

For a sufficiently-complex system, a CLI client just isn’t as powerful as a live “console”. A TUI can play the part and you don’t have to venture into the web SPA world.

If you want to build terminal app, I highly recommend the bubbletea library: https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea

You can view your snippets in a human-friendly web UI that syntax-highlights the code and even renders markdown. In addition to the Web UI, the TUI (powered by bubbletea) has a file browser, code viewer and attribute editor.

A sibling comment points at https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea as a Go alternative with a similar architecture

The closest thing in Go I know about is bubbletea:
