A JavaScript library extending the blessed terminal toolkit with widgets like line charts, bar charts, gauges, maps, tables, and logs for building ASCII/ANSI dashboards in the terminal. It works over SSH and on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Use cases

• build a terminal dashboard for monitoring server metrics
• render charts and gauges in a CLI app
• create an ssh-friendly system status dashboard
• display rolling logs and tables in the terminal
• visualize real-time data streams in a node.js tui

When to choose

• you need rich visual widgets (charts, gauges, maps) inside a Node.js terminal app
• you want dashboards that work over plain SSH with no browser
• you're already using blessed and want more widget types

When to avoid

• you need a web-based dashboard with rich interactivity
• you're not using JavaScript/Node.js
• you need pixel-perfect graphics rather than ASCII/ANSI rendering
