Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones?
Here's an "awesome" TUI list I like: https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis
And here's a list I made myself, the ones with rainbows have TUIs or pretty colors:
- List of projects that provide terminal user interfaces
-
Contour: Modern and Fast Terminal Emulator
> Editing multiline inputs is awful.
Outside of "line at a time" i/o (a rarely used mode where an entire line is edited locally and then sent to the host), most of what users see is as interactive is controlled by the program you are interacting with. The terminal just takes commands from the host and does what it is told. BTW, line at a time mode isn't used that much. The only thing I use that uses line at a time mode is telenet in LINEMODE.
> Navigating history is so-so
Yes, that is because the program you are likely interacting with where history is relevant implements it's own repl or command line (i.e. bash, zsh, python, etc...) and it is responsible for it's own history and may implement it completely differently than say, bash or zsh.
> Why are terminals always stuck in the 70s? Can I get a modern terminal?
We do have a modern terminal: the web browser... and it's pretty nice.
There have been a ton of tries at more modern terminals, but ultimately, they end up really being limited by the software running in the terminal session. In the 90s we had a ton of commercial terminal emulators that would allow you to create full guis, complete with dialogs and forms. In the 00's there were a few tries at terminals that would allow html output and embedding of html forms for input (can't remember the names of them). I suppose there's also the whole X11 thing... which is so good enough that it's really hard to kill.
Let's get back to character mode:
A lot of interactive terminal software is built using different libraries - so sometimes you get a terminal gui based on ncurses, terminal.gui, or something else... here's a list: https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis#libraries. Most of these libraries try to use most of the features in your terminal emulator, but often, just use stuff that is in everything.
For command line programs (i.e. just type a command), a lot of the experience is dictated by the parser used by the tool and whatever the underlying operating system has for passing arguments. Some shells and terminal emulators (like iTerm2 on mac) try to smooth this out, but again, there's a lot of variety in command line parsers.
Probably the biggest modern improvement in the shell world was gettext and various command-line completion libraries which allows command parameter completion if the developer supports it or uses a parser that supports completion. But none of this is the terminal itself doing the work.

DIY nas,suggestions for how to have an OLED screen like qnap showing space available, current IP,etc
Haven't done much in grafana but probably use that to constantly output to a small display. Depending on if you want to install a display server... Seems like there are lots of options, maybe grafterm is what you're looking for: https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis

What can you do in a terminal?
Check out this list of great TUI projects if you really want to see what terminal only is capable of.

This looks really cool! Would you mind PRing it to my awesome TUIs list? https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis

Are there any TUI apps you recommend outside of ncdu / nnn / htop / vim / bat / fd / tig / duf?
Here's a good list
-
What's the most beautifully designed TUI-app you've used?
Have a browse at the awesome-tui list and in the reddit search bar: this question is asked quite often and there are already plenty of answers :)
-
[Possibly OT] Is there a list of command-line versions of any Unix/Linux GUI applications?
https://github.com/toolleeo/cli-apps and https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis? Though it doesn't mention a specific GUI apps (eg, Lynx is under either Web Browser or Web on those lists), and it's just lists, no actual comparison or review etc. I usually found AlternativeTo to be somewhat decent start to see what features and alternatives I can expect across platform.

Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones?
Some alternatives:
* `vifm` file manager, more powerful and performant than ranger, for those who lean towards vim keybindings: https://vifm.info/
* `btop` process monitor, for those who like eye candy: https://github.com/aristocratos/btop

Text UIs != Terminal UIs
I mean mainly things like this:
https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/blob/main/Img/alt.png
Great work, it looks amazing! But what's the point of going through all the pain of rendering graphs in text? At that point, give me an actual graph. The code will be less messy and the information display will be better.

Command line tools I always install on Ubuntu servers
Btop is even more advanced than htop. It is almost like a GUI in terminal, and it feels like a dashboard of an airplane. I like it, but when I want to see what processes are using most of my resources, it is usually htop that comes to my mind and not btop, since btop shows more by default than I usually want. For more information see https://github.com/aristocratos/btop.

What's the appeal of the TUI programs?
btop blows me away every time I use it.

Htop is good, but these days I prefer using Btop.

Harlequin.sh DuckDB IDE for your terminal
I love this and will definitely try it out! Although I admit I'm a little puzzled when people simultaneously want to do a TUI but also design things so there is generous (excessive, actually) whitespace around everything to create the illusion of "minimalism" or "comfort".
It's a TUI! It should be buzzing with numbers, packed with information, sparing with space and using every pixel possible. btop[1] is a great example imo — one of the best.

Wifi Adapter not working
I am using Arco Linux (Arch Based) and today my machine was working as normal, but then I lost Wifi connection. I had btop opened in another monitor and when o lost connection, it crashed. Don't know what it means. This has happened before, but before I would just restart and everything would work fine again, but now, the OS doesn't show me anything Wifi related. When it happens,restarting shows are logs that normaly don't appear (can't show them here because they are now showing up anymore) and it takes a long time to restart, if it even restarts, sometimes I have to press down the power button (it's that bad). My mother is TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI, the Wifi adapter is the one that comes with the motherboard. I am on the Linux kernel 6.4.2 (I think), I updated the system this morning. On Windows (where I am writing this from), I don't have this problem.
