Textualize Terminal Tools
Textualize is the company behind Textual and Rich, two Python libraries by Will McGugan for building text user interfaces.
Rich handles the drawing: tables, syntax highlighting, progress bars and Markdown in a terminal. Textual builds applications on top of it from widgets and an event loop, styled with CSS-like stylesheets, and the same application can be served to a browser.
Other framework families on Terminal Trove include Charm for Go and Ratatui for Rust.
Below is a list of terminal tools built with Textual and Rich.
