  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • 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.

  • I guess you could use a Turbo Vision clone that goes back to MS-DOS days, question is why bother.

  • 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.

  • You could try https://github.com/gdt050579/AppCUI . It's still in development, but we have a lot of examples that work that you can try. If you want you can message me for help :)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • 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
