  3. tui-logger

    Logger and Widget for rust's ratatui crate

    If you have something like `ncurses or `tui` in control of your terminal then you could potentially plug in something like https://github.com/gin66/tui-logger and your life will be easy. On the other hand, you will be writing an ncurses-style app, and these make me sad (typically they break copy-pasting).
