#2the title of this post is odd? it’s a showcase of TUI applications built with this Rust crate — which I am hearing about for the first time, and am interested in. I was expecting a blog post on why Rust is experiencing a TUI revolution or something

I am also now curious about alternatives/what differentiates this crate

#4I've seen lots of TUIs lately, why is that? What is the renewed interest?
The only places I know of is Awesome TUIs [0] and terminaltrove [1]
I can also see that Ratatui has an awesome list too [2].

#5Some of the most interesting projects here have the worst installation stories.It's sort of tilting at windmills to not acknowledge that people are going to mostly install through package managers for their platform by advertising it as such. I'm not suggesting there's anything wrong with building from source. On the contrary, I think it's fantastic as many targets are supported here as there are! I think it's a shame more people aren't discovering them is all.

IMO it's like seeing kids bust out disposable kodak cameras at the bar: generational nostalgia

That's a big question. I think TUIs are great for glue processes, and it doesn't hurt when they look pretty. They're also excellent first projects with composable interfaces. Shell code is such a pain. It's quick and dirty, but there are a lot of footguns. The main challenge is reducing the friction of making a TUI to the point where it's easy to execute an idea, and a lot of frameworks do this really well. Add the proliferation of LLMs on top, and maybe that could explain it?

ratatui has been around for quite a bit. it's what I'll reach out for if I need semi-complex TUIs in Rust fwiw

The terminal remains an extremely compelling computing environment in spite of its limitations and fifty years of technical debt. As anachronistic as arcane escape codes and box drawing characters seem in $CURRENT_YEAR, the fact remains that nothing has arisen to fill its niche.

I think they're saying this crate is why Rust is experiencing a TUI revolution.
Charm would probably say the same for Go.
