Notcurses is a character graphics and TUI library; actually a promissing ncurses alternative. It was mentioned (1, 2) already in this subreddit.

Besides being a library it comes with some handy apps which you may find interesting:

• ncls: an ls that displays multimedia in the terminal
• ncneofetch: a neofetch ripoff
• ncplayer: renders visual media (images/videos)
• nctetris: a tetris clone
• notcurses-demo: some demonstration code
• notcurses-input: decode and print keypresses
