  • notty

    A new kind of terminal

  • I still haven't seen anybody really try to replace it other than even this, which is really just skipping it for the user interface part. https://github.com/withoutboats/notty Sadly even it hasn't been touched since 2017.

  • notcurses

    blingful character graphics/TUI library. definitely not curses.

  • notcurses is the most viable future for mixed text-and-graphics, and those concepts run on many terminals today, cross-platform, and over ssh without an X display.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • jexer

  • (No one likes Java for terminals but me these days, but here is one other library that can do some of the tricks notty is talking about.)
