Show HN: Gotui – a modern Go terminal dashboard library

#1

Post by carsenk »

I’ve been working on gotui, a modern fork of the unmaintained termui, rebuilt on top of tcell for TrueColor, mouse support, and proper resize handling. It keeps the simple termui-style API, but adds a bunch of new widgets (charts, gauges, world map, etc.), nicer visuals (collapsed borders, rounded corners), and input components for building real dashboards and tools. Under the hood the renderer’s been reworked for much better performance, and I’d love feedback on what’s missing for you to use it in production.

The Readme for a UI library benefits enormously from screenshots, even terminal based UIs.

I second that, even better would be if every type chart would be a folder, with a readme containing a screenshot and the code example. That would be top notch.

PS: looks great on the surface!

Next updates will include better docs and many screenshots/examples, thanks!

If you don’t already have a preferred workflow for autogenerating these, you might be interested in vhs https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs

I am not affiliated, I just think it’s a neat tool

As a FYI, you removed the original author's name from your license information. Per the MIT license, you need to preserve their copyright in your fork

Genuinely curious. Do you actually open the license file on all repos posted to HN?
