A seven-minute demo from the author of Notcurses, a C library for text user interfaces. It shows the 2.3.0 release, which adds Sixel and Kitty bitmap graphics integrated into its multiplane character-graphics model.
HN people share it as a striking demonstration of how much graphics a modern terminal can do.

If you haven't seen the work Nick Black is doing with notcurses [0] it's pretty amazing to see what it can do with bitmapped graphics in a modern terminal. Makes me wonder if we're ready for a resurgence of TUIs with full motion graphics. [0] [VIDEO]
hey there! this is my project of close to two years. happy to answer any questions anyone might have! if you haven't seen it, you might enjoy the Notcurses III hype video: [VIDEO]
Ok, if you're looking into notcurses, you may want to watch this: [VIDEO] (~ 6') the WTF effect that video had on me lasted quite a while. I still can't describe it.
It’s buried in that list, but Notcurses is fast and challenges assumptions about what can be done in a terminal. [VIDEO]
You should try some modern terminals fx.: - Contour [LINK] - Wezterm [LINK] Both fast terminals with modern features and cross platform. Also checkout Notcurses: [LINK] Here is a video of the Notcurses demo running in a terminal: [VIDEO]
MSYS2 . And copy over prebuilt dependencies. And while we say C++ , I suggest always to use Meson as build tool. Which allows you to use WrapDB (built in dependency-manager) aside from available native libraries and own local sources. MSYS2: [LINK] Meson: [LINK] The problem about Windows is, that Microsoft adds new APIs repeatingly and doesn’t care much about the previous ones. While on Linux we’ve Gtk1, Gtk2, Gtk3 and Gtk4. And while people complain about deprecations and changes they actually mean „API changes require work to use the new major. But these people keep maintaining it. And provide upgrade paths to enhanced versions? I’m in!“. HiDPI, Wayland, new Widgets, new renderers and a scene-graph. PS: If you need to keep it small and simple and address professional (power) users I suggest a TUI with the venerable ncurses . Or notcurses . Notcurses: [LINK] .
