About:
Libgnt is a lightweight, terminal-based UI toolkit built on NCurses. It provides a collection of widgets and a windowing system for creating text-mode graphical user interfaces. Its main value is enabling developers to build interactive, menu-driven console applications with a consistent look and feel.
Key Features:
  • Widget-based architecture (buttons, windows, text views)
  • Built on the standard NCurses library
  • Support for keyboard navigation and mouse events
  • Simple API for rapid TUI development
Use Cases:
  • Building interactive command-line configuration tools
  • Creating text-based dashboards or monitoring utilities
  • Developing TUI frontends for console applications
Alternatives:
  • ncurses – Lower-level; Libgnt provides higher-level widgets and abstractions
  • ncurses – Standard library for terminal graphics; Libgnt builds upon it
