There are some valid use cases here, I hope this will not affect users of wopr ( https://github.com/yaronn/wopr ).

curling the markup is not for realtime. sometimes you can get away with curling in a loop with some sleep, and depending on the latency / scale you will get the same effect. however blessed-contrib can also be used as a server side com

To visualize weather in the terminal you can also use: $> a=$(curl -Ls "bit.ly/1OuRPDJ"); curl --data "$a" "tty.zone?cols=${COLUMNS}" (via https://github.com/yaronn/wopr )

one use case is when ssh-ing machines you can see visual reports rather than text and numbers (think cpu metrics or app specific).

Another example is US weather map: $> a=$(curl -Ls "bit.ly/1OuRPDJ"); curl --data "$a" "tty.zone?cols=${COLUMNS}"

IMO JSON is less readable for this kind of document. XML is more explicit (at the cost of being chatty) but it's actually good for markup. For example nesting is easier to visually manage with XML due to tooling and explicitness of clo

this uses xterm, so it's more accessible to most users than the other alternatives you mentioned. also note wopr is not just about the graphs (like https://github.com/yaronn/blessed-contrib ) but also about having

XML is a standard format for markup (e.g. HTML). When XML is used where it shouldn't (object serialization) it adds complexity. Here it signals that creating a report is as simple (or at least as standard) as creating HTML. What other

Shutdownify github page now leads to 404. You would think they should know better than that. Stay classy, S9Y.

For me the main thing is not how to sleep after a day of coding but how to stop the day of coding from becoming a night of coding. It's really tempting to slide into the night when I'm in my zone. Otherwise f.lux is a must though

blessed is an amazing engineering work! I hoped the name blessed-contrib to show the project roots. termui is built upon termbox-go in a similar way that blessed-contrib builds on blessed, which is why I found them similar.

I was asking myself the same yesterday... I think I have memories from an old platform I used a few years ago that had a "gauge". Maybe Delphi?

I plan to add more samples. Meanwhile you can use a module like this to get the data for you: https://github.com/kgryte/node-metrics-os

what do you mean? You are right that in this sample I have not changed the values of the X axis but the api allows you to change its values anytime.

I considered something like this but it felt like cheating. The beauty of standard ascii/ansi is that it is available in any terminal without any installation and it also has the same aesthetics / resolution as the text you type.

Initially I used chart.js to paint the charts but I had to introduce it so many flags (no label Transformation, sensitive spacing etc) that I reverted to do it myself (even though I also have a working version with an altered chart.js). I

It's easy to do. The grid layout is optional. You can give relative and absolute positions. The first code sample in the readme shows something like this (though position is implicit there). You can also read about blessed (=ncurses fo
