    blingful character graphics/TUI library. definitely not curses.

  • Hey there! I'm the lead developer of Notcurses, a powerful library for TUIs and terminal graphics. It's a pure C core, and quite possibly the last major C project of my life after 20 years of almost exclusive C development. I started it in November of 2019, and have been dumping 40- and 60-hour weeks into it ever since. The focus has been on portability (across terminals), capability, and performance, and C has served me well in that quest. I'm pretty proud of the render/rasterizer core, found within src/lib/render.c. I've got a tremendous benchmarking framework built up around the core, and track changes in performance religiously.

  • Consider Cosmopolitan Libc. It has zero dependencies. Here's a comparison between Cosmopolitan and Notcurses at printing videos in the terminal: https://twitter.com/JustineTunney/status/1412408110040354816/photo/1 The executables you create will also run on seven operating systems. https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan
