    • Project mention: Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-06

    Not forgotten by any means but goaccess is nice and simple to use

  • no-more-secrets

    A command line tool that recreates the famous data decryption effect seen in the 1992 movie Sneakers.

    • Project mention: GitHub - bartobri/no-more-secrets: A command line tool that recreates the famous data decryption effect seen in the 1992 movie Sneakers. | /r/gatewaynode | 2023-07-22

  • ttyd

    Share your terminal over the web

  • htop

    htop - an interactive process viewer

    • Project mention: Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-06

    These certainly aren't forgotten, but I like:

    * `ranger` file manager: https://ranger.github.io/

    * `ncdu` for visualising disk usage: https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu

    * `htop` process monitor: https://htop.dev/

    I just find them very intuitive, and information-dense while not being overwhelming.

  • fastfetch

    Like neofetch, but much faster because written mostly in C.

    • Project mention: Neofetch Has Been Archived | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-29

    I think most have switched to https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch these days

  • sc-im

    sc-im - Spreadsheet Calculator Improvised -- An ncurses spreadsheet program for terminal

    • Project mention: Csvlens: Command line CSV file viewer. Like less but made for CSV | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-06

    While not built around CSV, two terminal spreadsheet tools I have successfully used in the past are sc-im and the (neo)vim plugin vim-table-mode:

    https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im/

    https://github.com/dhruvasagar/vim-table-mode

    Back then I stopped using sc-im because it could not import/export XLSX, if I remember correctly. Apparently it can today!

    vim-table-mode always felt a little fragile and I don't want to be bound to vim anymore. That said, it still feels like a small miracle to me to have functional spreadsheet formulas inside markdown documents – calculation and typesetting all in one place.

  • ttygif

    Convert terminal recordings to animated gifs (by icholy)

  • notcurses

    blingful character graphics/TUI library. definitely not curses.

    • Project mention: Text UIs != Terminal UIs | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-02

    > The only reason we don't have animation frameworks for the terminal is because it's not possible

  • chafa

    📺🗿 Terminal graphics for the 21st century.

    • Project mention: what terminal emulator would you recommend? | /r/archlinux | 2023-12-11

    Like some people here and under this post said, I like Kitty and would recommend it to anyone who uses/used Alacritty, as they are very similar in surface. I actually switch between Alacritty and Kitty pretty often, depending on my "mood". I recently went back to Kitty for image support (through chafa though, for better compatibility across terminal emulators). However, Wayland support is poor and I have some issues with fonts being too bold, although it could just be my config...

  • pspg

    Unix pager (with very rich functionality) designed for work with tables. Designed for PostgreSQL, but MySQL is supported too. Works well with pgcli too. Can be used as CSV or TSV viewer too. It supports searching, selecting rows, columns, or block and export selected area to clipboard.

    • Project mention: Harlequin: SQL IDE for Your Terminal | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-05

    pspg is a pager intended to be used with SQL command line clients. It was originally created for Postgres (hence the name), but also works with MySQL and others

    https://github.com/okbob/pspg

  • smenu

    smenu started as a lightweight and flexible terminal menu generator, but quickly evolved into a powerful and versatile CLI selection tool for interactive or scripting use.

    • Project mention: Lineselect 0.1.6 | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-04

    You can also use smenu (https://github.com/p-gen/smenu) to make these and many other selections.

  • tio

    A serial device I/O tool

    • Project mention: IT Pro Tuesday #276 - Cert Automation, Packet Analysis, Vim Cheatsheet & More | /r/ITProTuesday | 2023-11-08
