Once we have that, the next step is writing a curses-like library that takes advantage of notty's features, as well as a shim to run programs written against that library in non-notty terminals. Simultaneously, we're working on getting a reasonable terminal off the ground for dogfooding. I chose these because the first is a clear differentiator and the other two are very fundamental. ansi - a CLI utility to quickly get ANSI escape codes. Colors are written using either ANSI escape sequences or by. I narrowed down the immediate term goals for radical new features to three: images, a minimal internal line discipline, and dividing the screen into multiple grids. This crate provides a cross platform abstraction for writing colored text to a terminal. This is done, excepting for bugs (there are many). ANSI escape sequences are a standard for in-band signaling to control cursor location, color, font styling, and other options on video text terminals and terminal emulators.
The first step of this project was implementing an ANSI terminal, but with an eye toward abstracting ANSI commands into more fundamental building blocks, so that the analogous set of notty commands are already more powerful than ANSI commands (in the sense that actions that would require multiple ANSI commands can be performed in 1 notty command).
