Mousefood is a no-std embedded-graphics backend for Ratatui, the Rust terminal UI library. It lets Ratatui widgets render onto embedded displays such as ILI9341, ST7735, and SSD1306 drivers.

Use cases

• render ratatui TUIs on embedded displays
• build terminal-style UIs on microcontrollers
• draw ratatui widgets with embedded-graphics
• run TUI interfaces on no_std embedded hardware
• prototype embedded display UIs with MockDisplay
• use unicode fonts for box-drawing glyphs on small screens

When to choose

• you want to use Ratatui widgets on embedded displays via embedded-graphics
• you need a no-std TUI backend for microcontrollers
• you want to prototype embedded UIs with Ratatui's widget ecosystem

When to avoid

• you need a standard terminal backend for desktop TUI apps (use Ratatui's built-in crossterm backend)
• you need GPU-accelerated or windowed rendering
• you need very small binaries and can't afford large unicode fonts
