This is an excellent read - the topic of UIs for terminal emulators might seem dry but the author has done a really good job with this user manual. It's the library to replace ncurses. Worth a look for any Linux programmer.
- dankamongmen 6y agoThanks for the kind words, hax0r! (I'm the author). Notcurses 1.5.0 ought be out by this week's end, complete with "new" (as much as anything is "new") Quadrant Blitter Technique: https://nick-black.com/images/new-terminal-technique.png https://nick-black.com/images/new-terminal-technique.png and of course, if you've never seen it, be sure to check out `notcurses-demo`. it's come a long way since 1.1.0, but this video from January still captures the essence of the project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H1WkopWJNM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H1WkopWJNM hack on! ps. mysterious n-gate.com author [0], if you're reading this, you're doing the LORD's work. [0] my guess is james mickens

- dankamongmen 6y agothanks! it looks a lot better recently -- the 1.4.0 version is much cleaner than that 1.1.0 garbage. i didn't link it because it starts with a minute of me talking (and looking absolutely hideous that day, ugh): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvWdUfIStDI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvWdUfIStDI
