What Hacker News says
25 sourcesAs someone who writes software for moderately boring business operations, I've been wondering making terminal-based apps with lots of keyboard shortcuts would lead to a more productive end user than writing a web app.
I've been looking at https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui but haven't tried it yet.
In Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones?There are some. One of my favourites is Terminal.Gui[0], but you have to be in the .NET world in order to use it.
