Unicode braille symbols
Are there devices that can render those as something that blind people can feel?
Sure, braille terminals exist. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refreshable_braille_display for some examples.

#42Are there escape codes for some of these things? Or most of them? I know you can draw a sixel image but can you shrink it etc. with some escapes read over ssh?
No, there is no escape code to shrink a sixel image. You have to do it the hard way: erase it, shrink the bitmap, and then redraw it.

Posting an affiliate link is frowned upon, btw.
No affiliate link there (at least not intentionally) that’s the link that Amazon app brings up with share/copy link functionality. Mods feel free to alter/delete as needed.
Yeah bro you affiliate linked it.

#44The 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.

Someone clearly understands what open source is about. It's a pet peeve of mine when devs pick permissive licenses and then act all appalled when it's inevitably not taken as do-no-evil copyleft. 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…
Well, to be fair the brick could be wrapped in a copy of the gpl and stallman would be fine. Presumably the requested source code could also be delivered by a second brick.

#45Nick presents the following nightmarish dystopia: what if the demoscene were created by americans? What a bad vibe. Get away from me, please
I disagree but this is an extremely funny insult

That’s my bad! Will expand those out and remove going forward. I shouldn’t be surprised that Amazon app does by default now.

There is a screenshot [1]. [1]: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dankamongmen/notcurses/gh-...
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 api is lower–level than that. It is very similar to ncurses which just gives you a primitive window; a rectangular subsection of the screen that can be scrolled independently of the rest. It doesn’t give you a bunch of UI widgets like buttons and checkboxes that can be conveniently shown off in screenshots. You can build a whole TUI without ever even using those windows, because in a lot of UIs the content of the windows don’t need to scroll.
(And of course there’s all that stuff about colors, and notcurses adds functions for rendering bitmaps and videos into windows that ncurses doesn’t have.)
