Man - this is my fkn brand.
Plain text is almost a universal truth -- and it's easy to church up your documentation with a well presented ASCII chart.
Some ANSI Color Codes and ASCIInema can carry you a long way.
Here's a list of plain text information tools from my notes:
https://mbarkhau.keybase.pub/asciigrid/
https://gitlab.com/mbarkhau/asciigrid/
ascii-tables is exactly what is says on the label.
https://ozh.github.io/ascii-tables/
https://github.com/ozh/ascii-tables/
https://www.netpen.io/main/
https://github.com/ebirger/netpen/
svgbob and svg-term are both great for creating SVGs out of these plain text files:
https://github.com/marionebl/svg-term-cli/
https://ivanceras.github.io/svgbob-editor/
https://github.com/ivanceras/svgbob/
Here are some TUI/CLI focused frameworks. These are over kill for me - but maybe useful to someone here:
https://www.textualize.io/
https://charm.sh/
http://maaslalani.com/slides/
https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics/
TUI/Text-Based presentaion tools:
https://sli.dev/
https://github.com/slidevjs/slidev/
https://github.com/maaslalani/slides/
http://maaslalani.com/slides/

Honorable Mention goes to wtf-util and it's TUI configurator:

Thanks for coming to my ted talk!
- mbar84 4y agoThanks for the shoutout. AsciiGrid is dockerized should you want to run it yourself, for example because the keybase website happens to not be serving it anymore: https://github.com/mbarkhau/asciigrid#docker https://github.com/mbarkhau/asciigrid#docker
- throwamon 4y ago> Plain text is almost a universal truth Would you mind explaining what you mean by this? I take it you mean it ubiquitous, which of course it is, but as a phenomenon I'd much rather see things that look like they come from the real world, with color, depth, texture, and I'd much rather see a future where interactions with computers are moving in that direction.
