Project mention: Enchant your terminal application with python: survey, glow, rich, textwrap. | dev.to | 2025-05-26
rich is so feature-packed that it might even feel like 'overkill' for very simple tasks. However, this extensive capability means you can do almost anything you can imagine with terminal styling and layout.

This is why Textualize[1] concerns me. I've tried a few of the applications using their framework, and they have noticable keypress latency. I didn't think it was possible to make a bloated TUI, but they have somehow succeeded. This might just be a Python thing because of the GIL, because VisiData[2] has the same problem.
It's reminiscent of scroll-jacking, excessive animation, and other web GUI bloat, just translated to TUIs.

Project mention: Show HN: Termichess – Play chess right on your terminal | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-10-07
There was some trouble in scaling unicode text within the layout. Unfortunately increasing `font-size` is not trivial within the context of terminal. There are some ways around this , but i figured out that it's far more easier to render chess pieces as pixel images using `rich-pixels` [1]
