Terminal Trove curates and showcases all things in the terminal such as command line interface tools (CLI), text mode interface tools (TUI), developer tools and more no matter what platform or medium.

The text based internet can be exciting, informative, and fun. Using telnet, you can access a variety of these resources on the internet. Below you’ll find lists of a few places to get you started.

Mousefood - a no-std embedded-graphics backend for Ratatui!

Ratatui (ˌræ.təˈtu.i) is a Rust crate for cooking up terminal user interfaces (TUIs). It provides a simple and flexible way to create text-based user interfaces in the terminal, which can be used for command-line applications, dashboards, and other interactive console programs.

Most people's mental model of Claude Code is that "it's just a TUI" but it should really be closer to "a small game engine". For each frame our pipeline constructs a scene graph with React then: -> layout elements -> rasterize them to a 2d screen -> diff that against the previous screen -> finally use the diff to generate ANSI sequences to draw We have a ~16ms frame budget so we have roughly ~5ms to go from the React scene graph to ANSI written.

I called it Textual Code originally, which became “Toad” (the same way as Hodor got his name). Although purely a UI prototype with mocked up API interactions, it was enough for me to confidently say this is how you build a terminal based AI coding agent. We can have a jank free interface that remains light-weight and snappy without giving up the interactions we have all committed to muscle memory.
