Then, we execute the form's Run method. We won't delve into the implementation details here, but the Run method uses Charm's Bubble Tea library. Bubble Tea generates a model (the form's state) and manages that state. For more information, see the Bubble Tea Documentation

Lean TUI application framework for Python. Build sophisticated terminal user interfaces with a simple Python API. Run your apps in the terminal and a web browser.

Additionally, I integrate several CLI tools into my work flow, such as lazygit for streamlined Git operations, yazi as a terminal file manager, tmux for session management, and lazydocker for handling Docker containers efficiently.

ratatui
A Rust crate for cooking up terminal user interfaces (TUIs) ๐จโ๐ณ๐ https://ratatui.rs
Project mention: The Cassowary Linear Arithmetic Constraint Solving Algorithm [pdf] | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-03-14We use a cassowary based constraint solver within Ratatui [1]. It's kind of neat once you understand the algorithm and add your own UI rules system on top of it. Unfortunately the library[2] that we use for the actual solving is unmaintained for many years now. I've been meaning to rewrite[3] a bunch of things in the lib to be more ergonomic, but it hasn't bubbled to the top of my todo list yet.

lazydocker as well. Also a big fan of bottom (https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom) , which surprisignly enough even though it has charts and everything, it consumes way fewer resources on my system compared to htop.

"\033[31;1;4munderlines\033[0m" is (again) no worse than a stream of vertices or a stream of object code. Everything is a stream of bytes (well, a stream of bits anyway). Do you want CSS? Lipgloss is not too far off [0].
I read your objection basically as "escape sequences and control codes are noisy garbage"; are you saying something more like "the functionality you can achieve with escape sequences and control codes is fundamentally limited"? If that's the case, I don't see how, especially in the context of a character-based display.

Project mention: Data Science at the Command Line, 2nd Edition (2021) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-06
I'd like to call out one of my favorite pieces of software from the past 10 years: VisiData [1] has completely changed the way I do ad-hoc data processing, and is now my go-to for pretty much all use cases that I previously used spreadsheets for, and about half of those I previously used databases for.
It's a TUI application, not strictly CLI, but scriptable, and I figure anyone building pipelines using tools like jq, q, awk, grep, etc. to process tabular data will find it extremely useful.

FTXUI
Features: - Functional style. Inspired by [1] and React - Simple and elegant syntax (in my opinion). - Support for UTF8 and fullwidth chars (โ ๆต่ฏ). - 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
But then i'm an engineer and doing things in organize manner is what i am supposed to do. And one day i came to this repo FXTUI a fantastic C++ library for creating terminal user interfaces, so i started building tuisic.
