Description
Writing a cli app also needs some good-looking UI but it's annoying to do this manually. I tend to write cli apps with TUI libraries, like Cursive, termion(termion is bindless so it can work without ncurses installed, that's awesome!).
So why not introduce them in our cli book? I would like to help write this chapter. A useful link: Making Terminal Applications in Rust with Termion
