Fx – Terminal JSON Viewer
Pretty cool! I actually wrote something VERY similar a couple of years ago: sless[1]. It's a tool for viewing json-based structured logs. Just like your tool, you can explore into a json object. The difference is, it expects the input to have many json objects, newline separated, and it shows few keys as a preview of the object, to make looking for something in the log easier. It's not quite complete but basic browsing works. It was mainly written to learn more about Urwid[2], a library similar to Curses.

Any guide to creating a terminal application?
In addition to the other great libraries already mentioned, since you're in Python you may want to consider urwid, it's really robust and has a lot of built-ins.
- Menus in Python
-
Grab raw keyboard inputs
To go full in on the latter case, people often use libraries like Cursive (akin to urwid for Python but without the horrendously confusing error messages caused duck typing) or tui.

Textual: The Definitive Guide - Part 1.
If you have experience with text user interfaces in the past, you might come across other frameworks such as urwid, curtsies, asciimatics, prompt-toolkit to name a few. Nevertheless, If you have not, you are just fine because you are in the right place to learn about TUIs in general and using Textual specifically. I’ll show you how to develop a wordle clone step by step.
- Is there a library for creating interactive long running terminal applications?

How can I make a TUI?
Check also urwid. It's more likely a modern text-based interface library for Python. https://github.com/urwid/urwid
-
What is the correct way to create a console application?
Curses seems difficult to use but you should investigate whether it works with what you want to do. https://urwid.org/ seems fun as an alternative.

I looking for a TUI liberary/framework with good aesthetics.
urwid is Python, and looks good.

Advice for creating my first game?
separate logic and presentation - so, for example, you can start off with a very simple console based solution, move to a more advanced text/console user interface (using e.g. blessed), then onto a simple GUI or webapp
-
CLI interfaces with choice highlighting
blessed is a good example.

Everything you ever wanted to know about terminals(but were afraid to ask)
If this piques your interest and you use Python, check out the blessed library: https://github.com/jquast/blessed

A good python library to replace libtcod for terminal play?
Well, my current plan is to use one of the more modern curses-replacements (I'm thinking of blessed, a blessings fork), since they seem a lot easier to use than curses. If I hit a speed bottleneck with blessed, the plan is to switch over to curses...

Objexplore: A terminal UI to inspect and explore Python objects
I created a terminal app called Objexplore to interactively inspect and explore Python objects. It was a fun project and uses the rich and blessed packages. Take a look at the github readme for a quick demo.
-
Fancy console
blessed - This module is a wrapper around curses, and aims to make doing things with it simpler.
-
Any Python/Curses resources?
You might also consider more modern approach like blessed or maybe go low-level in the style of how urwid handles terminal input and output.
