uggly-client VS textual

I'm actually working on this. Component based over the wire TUI system. It's in a decent alpha state but I want to code and host some more sample sites before I start sharing a ton.

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.

Did a cursory dive through, check: https://textual.textualize.io/tutorial/ and https://github.com/Textualize/textual/blob/main/docs/example...

...what have people had success with in golang-world? Anything reasonably equivalent someone could recommend? There's a fair amount of "stuff" for TUI's in golang, the thing that's very attractive about 'textualize' is it feels very "web-browser-y" and has a nice (scrollable!) table view.

`tview` seems interesting (eg: check `brew install dbui`), but feels a bit more like _you're_ doing all the imperative `if KeyPress.A: do_something()` instead of declarative, nesting navigation, etc. (perhaps that's the difference between an "application-centric/SPA" view of "control all the things!" vs. a document centric: "add components to a page and let them flow").

Any feedback on the items in this list? https://codeberg.org/tecras/awesome-go#advanced-console-uis

I also highly encourage you to take a look at the Textual documentation, code examples, and Will's Twitter.

Textual is a package created by Will McGugan, the creator of the rich, extremely popular terminal text formatting library. Textual is actually built on top of rich to support all of those lovely features, add interactivity to them, and enable the creation of more complicated apps and components. When you first encounter an example of Textual app (and you can find them directly in the Textual repository), you may wonder: is it really a built-in terminal? Yes, it is.

For small apps, I may choose a TUI (Terminal User Interface). Curses for Python is very lightweight, but quite low level and difficult to use for anything more than a very simple interface (if your app tries to draw outside of the drawing area, the app crashes, so you have to carefully manage every detail). Textual and asciimatics are both mature TUI frameworks that provide a higher level and more Pythonic way to create TUI's.

Try turning it into a TUI app using textual

for Python GUIs I recommend considering a console-based GUI using the excellent Textual: https://textual.textualize.io/

this is the most modern GUI (in a console or not) framework you'll find for Python right now.

If you are looking for something more flexible that just printing to a terminal, take a look at Asciimatics and textual. Both are available from Pypi.
