    Check this out - https://github.com/ggerganov/imtui - it's imgui for tui, and I guess one can compile it as wasm and run there!

  • TermOx

  • neo

  • nchat

    Terminal-based Telegram / WhatsApp client for Linux and macOS

    • Project mention: Neonmodem: TUI for Lobsters, HN, etc. | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-11

    WeeChat[0] with Bitlbee[1] supports a metric assload of services, albeit by pretending they're IRC (which does work - I spent years in weechat/irssi with bitlbee talking to various people on disparate services.)

    Or if you're just after Telegram/WhatsApp, nchat[2] is ok (I can vouch for the Telegram half only.)

  • nmail

    Terminal-based email client for Linux and macOS

    • Project mention: Outlook is Microsoft's new data collection service | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-11

    I confirm the issue of delays/freezing of Claws-mail. I really liked the simple UI, but freezing too often, couldn't stand it. I had searched about it, I got some answers that's it's single threaded if I recall well.

    Since you mentioned mutt and it's steep learning curve, I recommend you another TUI MTA/mail app. It's nmail (https://github.com/d99kris/nmail). Simple, Pine/Alpine like interface, has great features (for example, saving mails in sqlite - can be used offline). Also the developer is active and friendly, in case you find bugs or have any proposals for enhancements.

  • tmbasic

    TMBASIC programming language

  • AppCUI

    AppCUI is a cross-platform TUI (Text User Interface / Terminal User Interface) / CUI (Console User Interface) framework designed to allow quick creation of both TUI Application and TUI Games. AppCUI is heavily based on C++20 standards and offers a multitude of widgets such as windows, buttons, checkboxes, radioboxes, comboboxes, listviews, treeviews, tab controls, image previewers, and many more.

    • Project mention: Resizing console window on windows | /r/cpp | 2023-06-21

    Been there done that and in hindsight: while it was a good way to learn some Windows quirks/internals, I now really feel that time would have been better spent learning how to use an existing library (say, https://gdt050579.github.io/AppCUI/, just to name something).

    A small TUI journaling tool. 📖
