  • Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones?
    56 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 May 2024
    As a sound and music computing person, I rarely used tui before although I use cli tools often, e.g. SoX. I usually use Audacity to record on Mac. But then I realized I wanted a tool that could quickly open and record inspiration, and that's when TUI came into play: I decided to write my own custom tool called asak (audio Swiss Army Knife) [1]

    This way I can quickly record on Mac, and of course, since this is Rust and ratatui [2], this tool should also be cross-platform.

  • Fast memory vulnerabilities, written in 100% safe Rust

    > If someone plopped me in front of a rust codebase I'd be at the mercy of the manual for quite a long time.

    This is not a representative sample of Rust. That's explicitly triggering edge cases which requires abuse of syntax you wouldn't normally see.

    Check out this for something more realistic that anyone should understand https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/blob/main/examples/ca...

    nice work!

    can I use "cargo install --git https://github.com/aabiji/muse"?

    I also recommend:

    https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui

    https://github.com/mikaelmello/inquire

    for your further development

    I also have a Rust CLI music project here if you want to have a look

    There are apps that are built on ratatui that support mouse already including an example in the repo[1], and crates (and some internal changes to the buffer) to support iterm/kitty/sixel based images.[2]

    Compared to TurboVision, Ratatui has a lot of missing things:

    - Containers

    - Dialog types (I'm working on this in https://github.com/joshka/tui-prompts)

    - Higher order combinations of widgets (e.g. combine the scrollbar and paragraph)

    - Menus

    - Any event system (apps bring their own - we just handle display)

    - etc.

    - There's lots of things in TV that are provided as external crates (like editors, treeview, etc.)

    The main thing is that Ratatui is at least right now, just the display side of things. Things to do with events or application shell aren't built-in. This somewhat stems from the immediate vs retained mode approach to the library, but this may change in the future.

  • Trippy – A Network Diagnostic Tool
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 9 Dec 2023
    The TUI is built with the awesome Ratatui [0] library (formerly tui-rs [1]). UX is certainly not my area of expertise and I would not have been able to create Trippy without this library.
