  • jexer

    Java Text User Interface. This library implements a text-based windowing system loosely reminiscent of Borland's Turbo Vision system

  • But I do love (cough) how people jump into threads to say "you shouldn't have done that". If it really irks you, I've been pretty much done with terminal programming for a while now. I've gone as far as I want to, and have been waiting a bit over two years for others to catch up.

  • Twin has indeed been around for a while, and I even include it the list of similar programs. But it does not do the same thing. (And it looks like they could improve their ncurses support, one can actually get full mouse reporting including motion and dragging through ncurses. I have left some tips here for the ncurses users.)

  • notcurses

    blingful character graphics/TUI library. definitely not curses.

  • Happily enough, we now have a really cool text-and-images library with notcurses's completion of sixel output, and termui is almost there too! There are some really great applications possible now, thanks to these developers' efforts.

  • xterm.js

    A terminal for the web

  • On the terminals side, when I first put the sixel code out there in October 2018, only xterm and RLogin could run it without crashing. Since then I have helped six other terminals shore up their image support, made some tests for new terminals, and reported on the work to the larger ecosystem. When vte's and xterm.js's sixel support gets out there, I believe we will have critical mass for images in the terminal to be the new normal.
