The same primary author just recently published a novel as well. If you enjoy the writing style of the readme/faq you may enjoy it too. Feels like it might be a good vacation read. midnight's simulacra https://a.co/d/8tcx82V

For the handful slightly fancy TUI applications I wrote, I had some fun in just using raw escape sequences. I really like the buildkit output style, I couldn't figure out how to do something like this – multiline output without a full-term application – with curses, so I did it myself.
The FAQ has some interesting entries: Can I use Notcurses in my closed-source program? Notcurses is licensed under Apache2, a demonstration that I have transcended your petty world of material goods, fiat currencies, and closed sources. Implement Microsoft Bob in it. Charge rubes for it. Put it in your ballistic missiles so that you have a nice LED display of said missile's speed and projected yield; right before imp…
If you have expectations, spell them out! We are not mind readers, different people and projects happen in very different contexts and backgrounds. Assuming or even worse, asserting, that there are some common principles or standards beyond whats written down is just narrowminded and maybe even hypocritical.

I suppose you don't worry about the termcap madness and just rely on terminals being compatible enough?
But honestly, some of these run in tmux on my machine and in the Windows Terminal in production and both do the same thing. I guess if you assume modern, emulated terminals and don't do exotic stuff (I mostly move the cursor and clear lines), you can go some way without termcap. It's a tool from a time when terminals where physical machines.

I was always impressed by how clean and consistent Notcurses was, I never found myself wanting for functionality or power. It was always performant and stayed out of my way when I was doing the un-orthodox. I consider it a shining example of the kind of culture that got me into this sort of thing. I look forward to working with it again when I find the excuse!
What a bad vibe. Get away from me, please

There’s also a yt video showing a demo that can be run after installing notcurses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcjkezf1ARY Pretty hefty.
Is it able to show actual videos or is that just to make the demo more interesting and inserted externally? I would like to combine something like this with https://github.com/runvnc/tersenet or some of those ideas.
