A colleague just recommended fx, the TUI to explore json.
A bit more user friendly than jq, but also on some aspects more powerful? Worth exploring!
Guess who discovered Python "textual" TUI framework today! 
https://textual.textualize.io/
I tried creating an interactive mode for freedom-maker.
$ python3 -m freedom-maker --interactive
is the command to trigger it.
There's even a Select All feature. One trigger to do all the new stable builds once Debian 13 is out this month!
Note: This is not in the package yet, it's just an experiment.
More details in each screenshot below.
Once the password is entered, the build runs. The third panel in the 3-panel layout shows real-time logs from the freedom-maker process. Colored logs are supported by textual, but freedom-maker doesn't seem to produce them. I should be able to add colored logs in the TUI alone, but this is not implemented yet.
A dialog to input the sudo password of the user. This dialog is triggered by pressing the build button in the footer or by pressing the hotkey "b". I haven't figured out how to center this properly yet. This dialog will not be shown if freedom-maker command is run as root.
A TUI screen with 3 panels. The first panel shows the possible build targets for FreedomBox, along with a Select All option to build them all in sequence.

Tachyonfx brings web-level animations to the command line..
Then Ratzilla puts it back in browsers where it belongs 🤷♂️

tatuin, a TUI to manage TODOs from Obsidian, Todoist, GitHub and GitLab. In Rust.
gren-tui: Pure functional TUIs with The Elm Architecture
Build interactive terminal apps using The Elm Architecture. Easily create complex, reactive layouts with a DSL inspired by elm-ui. Code and refactor with confidence thanks to the type-safety and purity of the Gren programming languag
And it's not like people and espechally businesses are unwilling to pay for good tools, cuz not only is HootSuite still around, but @tapbots, who made the excellent TweetBot nowadays make @ivory, an excellent #ActivityPub client with focus on #Mastodon that people are willing to pay a #subscription for!
- And from what I could see from users who pay for it, they are not just happy, but it also looks and feels better than #TweetDeck in it's golden days...
Like: There's not much of a technical reason something similar to @zulip 's #TUI - based client could exit.
- Obviously #proprietary platforms - (just like #Shitter even before #ApartheidEmeraldBoy took over and speedrun it into becoming a #NaziBar) - will try to passive-aggressively stifle such #clients, but still...
If people can build #bots for shite like #discord, #Telegram, etc. then why not make an actually good client ???

Anyone can recommend forgotten books about designing and programming text user interfaces (TUI) for consoles/terminals, also known as screen design back in the 80s?
Not curses or using existing libraries, but more like relying directly on ANSI/VT100 control sequences. And no, I'm not asking for a list of escape sequences :)
The kind of material I'm thinking of is something close to the 1989 "Programming the User Interface: Principles and Examples" by Judith R. Brown and Steve Cunningham. But focused on TUI exclusively. The more (pseudo-)code, the better.

Maybe you should define what you're looking for. In some cases #Gajim might fit better, in others #Dino. But if you'd e.g. prefer #TUI programs you might like #poezio or #profanity.
