## What it is
ShellProgressBar is a .NET library for rendering progress bars in console applications, including support for concurrent and nested child progress bars. It is distributed via NuGet and works across Windows, macOS, and Linux terminals.

## Use cases
- show a progress bar for long-running console tasks
- visualize concurrent task progress in a CLI app
- display nested child progress bars for dependent steps
- report progress via IProgress<T> in .NET
- style console progress output with colors

## When to choose
- you are building a .NET console application with long-running tasks
- you need to visualize parallel or dependent work in the terminal
- you want a simple, well-tested NuGet package with no dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need progress UI in a GUI or web application
- your project is not on the .NET platform
- you need rich TUI layouts beyond progress bars

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active

- domain: developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: cross-platform, dotnet, cli, windows
