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.

Microsoft Releases Classic MS-DOS Editor for Linux Written in Rust
For those curious, here is a modern port of the C++ Turbo Vision that also supports Unicode:

DOjS – A DOS JavaScript Canvas with Sound
Not exactly what you're looking for, but there's Shell in a Box (see https://github.com/shellinabox/shellinabox), that can create a terminal on a web page, and expose an actual terminal application running on a server.
One thing that is certainly doable is also to use a standard TUI framework in another language (there are many of them, e.g. https://github.com/magiblot/tvision for C++, https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea for Go, etc.), compile it to WASM, and find how to bridge the WASM output to the browser (I've seen this: https://github.com/cryptool-org/wasm-webterm, but never tried it).

Turbo Pascal or Delphi for Text Screen Applications
With FPC, you can use Free Vision, which is a supposed to be like a remake of the old Borland Turbo Vision. Alternatively for C++.
- What is a low-level UI library that allows me to make my own text widgets?
-
Using byte array for window?
Talking about a window display from byte array sounds like windowing for a purely text based (console based) user interface, like the 1990's Borland's old Turbo Vision. There are modern ports of Turbo Vision, e.g. superquick googling found one at GitHub.

Terminal.Gui – Cross Platform Terminal UI Toolkit for .NET
there is also a port of the "original":

A modern port of Turbo Vision 2.0, the classical framework for text-based user interfaces. Now cross-platform and with Unicode support.

Show HN: Chawan TUI web browser 0.2.0
chawan has a custom terminal module, so my knowledge about the standard X/Open curses is not that great.
That said, for the actual escape sequences, XTerm's ctlseqs.ms[1] is an invaluable resource. I also took many ideas from nick black's notcurses[2], and I especially recommend his notes on "sprixels".[3]

Ratatui: Build rich terminal user interfaces
Same for me, I would be much more motivated if there was something like textual for Rust. Given the capability of terminal emulators now I think Rust is lacking behind in the TUI field. Just checkout what can be done with something like notcurses

Terminal emulators that break from the traditional rendering approach?
On the application side of rendering, see notcurses, it is at the leading edge: https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses
What are some alternatives?
FTXUI - Features: - Functional style. Inspired by [1] and React - Simple and elegant syntax (in my opinion). - Support for UTF8 and fullwidth chars (→ 测试). - No dependencies. - Cross platform. Linux/mac (main target), Windows (experimental thanks to contributors), - WebAssembly. - Keyboard & mouse navigation. Operating systems: - linux emscripten - linux gcc - linux clang - windows msvc - mac clang
