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
But then i'm an engineer and doing things in organize manner is what i am supposed to do. And one day i came to this repo FXTUI a fantastic C++ library for creating terminal user interfaces, so i started building tuisic.

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

arduino-canbus-monitor
Can bus monitoring tool based on arduino and can bus shield. Implements CAN ASCII/SLCAN protocol compatible with Lawicel CAN232/CANUSB. Can be used for monitoring low speed CAN (interior can bus of most cars, less than 500kbps). For higher speeds serial port can become a bottleneck in case data density is high.
