In other words, the author did a lot of hard work to shape a fairly general purpose UI library into a very neat design. Kudos!

  There is also the font selection and the borderless terminal which improve the aesthetics Without that it could look like this https://i.imgur.com/TVwkQI0.png https://i.imgur.com/TVwkQI0.png But I agree, the author did really good job in creating a clean an visually pleasing UI only using text and standard symbols

    So to make it look like in the demo, you have to tweak the settings of your terminal? Perhaps terminals should have cascading style sheets ...

      I always find myself wanting just a little more terminal text style control. Usually I’m left wishing I had either an alternative font mode or double sized text. (Double specifically to avoid breaking the X*Y text cell grid) But little wishes for extra expressiveness aside, i really don’t think terminal UIs would benefit from anything like CSS. The terminal functions as my working environment. I rely on being able to visually pattern scan for errors, warnings, typical command output, time stamp and log alignment etc. I do not want anything messing with how I set all this up.

  If this is all this is it actually doesn't look like a crazy amount of work to make cursive look good: https://github.com/NerdyPepper/dijo/blob/8b91a7c0b3d9bd4fac3b140f5bc8a40ac324289a/src/theme.rs https://github.com/NerdyPepper/dijo/blob/8b91a7c0b3d9bd4fac3... I've avoided looking too deeply into cursive in the past because I naively assumed it would be difficult to make it look like like anything other than a late-90s BIOS, but this is exciting.

    This looks like a "draw the rest of the fucking owl" thing. Yes, it's not a lot of manual work, but I wouldn't be able to do it at all because I don't have a sense for design.

It looks amazing do we have something similar in python

  In pythonland, you get a whole slew of TUI widget libraries Eg blessed https://github.com/jquast/blessed https://github.com/jquast/blessed
