This is from cronvel, the author of terminal-kit [0]. I've always liked how detailed and well thought-out this spec is, although I'm not sure anybody's using it. [0] https://github.com/cronvel/terminal-kit

Some things in common with Cronvel Terminal Kit? https://github.com/cronvel/terminal-kit Sort of a document model for the terminal https://github.com/cronvel/terminal-kit/blob/master/doc/docu...

This is kind of like a programmable browser library for terminals: https://github.com/cronvel/terminal-kit Even has a document model: https://github.com/cronvel/terminal-kit/blob/master/doc/docu... And can display images in the terminal amongst many other features: https://github.com/cronvel/terminal-kit#key-features

In Browsh is a fully-modern text-based browser

https://github.com/cronvel/terminal-kit This is the one that most catches my attention. Currently actively maintained plus it has something analagous to a document object model https://github.com/cronvel/terminal-kit/blob/master/doc/docu... Also Ink is incredibly interesting as it enables ReactJS for creating TUI apps - mind bending! https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink I can imagine the things above being combined with a sandbox plus Fabrice Bellard's QuickJS https://bellard.org/quickjs/ into a new type of application ..... the "pure text mode browser". A "pure text mode browser" would not be designed to render ordinary HTML web pages, but would instead be a minimal browser designed only for text mode.

In the node ecosystem there are a few interesting ones. https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink for writing TUIs with react. Here's a project I wrote using that: https://github.com/zephraph/solitaire. It's not as powerful as ncurses, but it works rather well. If you want something more on par with ncurses try https://github.com/cronvel/terminal-kit

Just been reviewing terminal libs in Node.js and came across this one, which is pretty good. The documentation is quite thorough as well: https://github.com/cronvel/terminal-kit/blob/master/doc/docu... and the author even wrote a few tutorials: http://blog.soulserv.net/tag/terminal/
