imtui
Immediate mode text-based user interface C++ library for building interactive terminal applications.
What is imtui?
ImTui is an immediate mode text-based user interface library written in C++. It allows developers to build interactive terminal applications with widgets, colors, and input handling by providing an ncurses-based backend for the Dear ImGui library. It solves the problem of creating modern, responsive UIs in console environments without the complexity of traditional terminal UI toolkits.
C++ developers building terminal applications, tools, or dashboards who want a declarative, immediate mode UI framework similar to Dear ImGui but for text-based interfaces.
Developers choose ImTui because it brings the productivity and simplicity of Dear ImGui to the terminal, offering a consistent API, cross-platform support, and the ability to create rich, interactive experiences in console applications with minimal code.
