Monotty Desktopio - Text-based desktop environment inside your terminal

• vtm

  24 1,531 9.9 C++

  Text-based desktop environment

  

The developer is really good. If he succeeds in adding image support, then VTM would become AFAIK the first C++ TUI with properly mixed text-and-images.

• notcurses

  1 - -

(notcurses is the first in C, and currently best globally. The first in Rust might be tui-rs. The first in Go might be tcell.)

• tcell

  Tcell is an alternate terminal package, similar in some ways to termbox, but better in others.

• notcurses

  102 3,281 7.6 C

  blingful character graphics/TUI library. definitely not curses.

Mixing images and text was first done three years ago. Now there is also notcurses which is awesome.

• chafa

  31 2,612 9.0 C

  📺🗿 Terminal graphics for the 21st century.

Converting images into text is chafa, and it's gorgeous. You can convert images to sixel with both chafa and notcurses: both encoders are ludicrous fast.

• zellij

  90 17,340 9.4 Rust

  A terminal workspace with batteries included

  

If you like tmux, also check out zellij. It's still growing, but I think it has a very promising future.

• libsixel

  23 2,383 0.0 C

  A SIXEL encoder/decoder implementation derived from kmiya's sixel (https://github.com/saitoha/sixel).

And sixel backends for common applications e.g SDL, and by this almost any game, qemu or ffmpeg were written about 8 years ago: https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel

• vt340test

  2 36 9.3 PostScript

  Tests of VT340 compatibility

libsixel (and notcurses and chafa) can readily be used to display bitmaps on a screen. I wish I had seen sixel (and ReGIS and Tektronix) in action when they were new, on the original hardware. :) BTW if you haven't seen it yet hackerb9 has been working with a real VT340 to better understand what wasn't in the manuals.

• minivcmouse

  1 5 10.0 C

  Simple linux console mouse daemon (using libinput)

Now that's neat! And here I was thinking only textshell's minivcmouse had gone directly to /dev/input/mice.
