summary

Notcurses is a C library (with C++, Python, and Rust bindings) for building advanced TUIs that leverage modern terminal emulator features — vivid colors, multimedia playback via FFmpeg or OIIO, multithreading, and complex Unicode — to provide capabilities beyond ncurses/X/Open Curses. The talk covers Notcurses’s design goals, API, implementation details, release history (Notcurses 2.1.0), platform availability (many Linux distros and FreeBSD Ports), and examples of projects using it.
