barkeep
A single-header C++ library for displaying async animations, counters, progress bars, and status messages with minimal code changes.
What is barkeep?
Barkeep is a single-header C++ library that provides asynchronous visual feedback for long-running tasks, such as progress bars, counters, animations, and status messages. It solves the problem of adding user-friendly progress indicators to command-line applications without requiring significant code restructuring by monitoring existing variables via pointers.
C++ developers building command-line tools, scripts, or applications that need visual progress indicators, especially those who want minimal code changes and header-only integration.
Developers choose Barkeep for its non-intrusive design, which allows monitoring of existing variables with pointers, avoiding locks or custom types. It offers flexibility with multiple display types, composite monitoring, and optional advanced formatting, all in a lightweight, header-only package.
