I was missing interactive rebase, as it is missing from libgit2
https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/issues/32
Project mention: Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-06htop is great, but I've migrated to bottom which has a very similar interface with "btm --basic".

Crossterm does indeed work well under Windows Terminal. I use it indirectly via the ratatui library[1]

Project mention: Projectable: A TUI file manager built for projects | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-25Rust has great libraries for TUIs. tui-rs (https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs) has been used in numerous popular applications, but is unmaintained. ratatui (https://github.com/tui-rs-revival/ratatui) is the maintained version, and is pretty new. Less widely known is cursive (https://github.com/gyscos/cursive), which I have yet to try.
Aside from the libraries, I just wanted to start a project that would make be better at Rust. The easy distribution with cargo is a huge bonus though.
Project mention: Superfile – A fancy, petty terminal file manager | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-10I love that there are a lot of great options in this space. This one looked nice due to its selection pane: https://xplr.dev/
Project mention: Apnic: Cgnat is harming internet innovation (2022) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-26[3] https://github.com/fujiapple852/trippy/issues/1104
I think a lot of Ratatui apps will tend to land on similar concepts for your app. There's a few good examples of apps using a component approach rather than just widgets that I'm aware of:
- https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi
- https://github.com/TaKO8Ki/gobang
- https://github.com/nomadiz/edma
Perhaps the intuitive crate would make a good abstraction on top of Ratatui?
Project mention: Nvtop: Linux Task Monitor for Nvidia, AMD and Intel GPUs | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-12
This is an example from the Termion crate:
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
https://github.com/glicol/glicol-cli
Looks very similar to my tool, tere: https://github.com/mgunyho/tere. The main difference seems to be that I don't do any file manipulation, while walk has the option to delete files/folders. In my implementation, you don't need to type '/' for fuzzy search, just typing searches and jumps by default.
