# notcurses
blingful TUI library for modern terminal emulators. definitely not curses.
* **What it is**: a library facilitating complex TUIs on modern terminal
emulators, supporting vivid colors and Unicode to the maximum degree
possible. Many tasks delegated to Curses can be achieved using Notcurses

replacement for NCURSES on existing systems.

Notcurses abandons the X/Open Curses API bundled as part of the Single UNIX
Specification. The latter shows its age, and seems not capable of making use of
