owl
An Elixir toolkit for building interactive command-line interfaces with colored output, prompts, progress bars, and menus.
What is owl?
Owl is a toolkit for writing command-line user interfaces in Elixir. It enhances traditional CLI scripts and tools with interactive elements like colored output, progress bars, input prompts, tables, and select menus, making command-line output more informative and user-friendly without requiring a full-screen TUI.
Elixir developers building command-line scripts, tools, or utilities that benefit from enhanced interactivity and user-friendly output, such as installation wizards, configuration tools, or data reporting scripts.
Developers choose Owl over full-screen TUI libraries because it focuses on adding just enough interactivity to standard top-to-bottom scripts, avoiding the complexity of full-screen applications while providing a rich set of features like live updates, shell integration, and secure logging.
