Notcurses: Blingful character graphics/TUI library

The name is a bit close to “ncurses”. Also a screenshot early on would be helpful to illustrate what it can be used for.

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.

Yes, but that’s both fairly far down the page and not really a good example of what an actually application might look like

The link at the starting of the second sentence "Things can be done with Notcurses that simply can't be done with NCURSES." does more justice for what it can do than any screenshots would.

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 impact, scroll "FUCK YOU" in all the world's languages, and close it out with a smart palette fade. Carve the compiled objects onto bricks and mail them to Richard Stallman, taunting him through a bullhorn as you do so.
