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.
rich
- Rich is a Python library for rich text and beautiful formatting in the terminal

Neat Parallel Output in Python
There is an open issue [1] on GitHub to make it more modular and get rid of markdown and syntax highlighting but I have no hope for rich to get more minimal.

Python 3.12
They keep getting improved error messaging and this is one of my favorite features. But I'd love if we could get some real rich text. Idk if anyone else uses rich, but it has infected all my programs now. Not just to print with colors, but because it makes debugging so much easier. Not just print(f"{var=}") but the handler[0,1]. Color is so important to these types of things and so is formatting. Plus, the progress bars are nice and have almost completely replaced tqdm for me[2]. They're just easier and prettier.

[1] Try this example: https://github.com/Textualize/rich/blob/master/examples/exce...
[2] Side note: does anyone know how to get these properly working when using DDP with pytorch? I get flickering when using this and I think it is actually down to a pytorch issue and how they're handling their loggers and flushing the screen. I know pytorch doesn't want to depend on rich, but hey, pip uses rich so why shouldn't everyone?

colors.crumb - first Crumb usable. Extending Crumb with basic terminal styling and RGB, HEX, ANSI conversion functions.
colors.crumb extends Crumb with basic terminal styling functions and RGB, HEX, ANSI conversion functions. It is in the realm of JavaScript's chalk and Python's rich but slightly more functional 😉.

Textual: Rapid Application Development Framework for Python
I am working on a new python project and one of the first things I added was https://github.com/Textualize/rich because of how easy it is to make things look good in the terminal.
-
What are you rewriting in rust?
I am not rewriting anything but I'd love to have a library like `rich` in Rust: https://github.com/textualize/rich

Things to do with standalone script
Add some cool-looking stuff to your output with rich.

I made a library for making user terminal input really really pretty!
You might consider taking inspiration from the rich module. In particular, I like how rich supports inline color theming which seems much more cumbersome in your framework, requiring the use of context managers as well as familiarity with how your framework structures color objects. Other than that though, I'm impressed!
