tachyonfx is a Rust library providing shader-like effects and animations for Ratatui terminal user interfaces. It offers 50+ composable effects with spatial patterns, cell-precise targeting, and WebAssembly/no_std support.

Use cases

• add fade-in animations to a Rust TUI
• create terminal text effects like dissolves and sweeps
• compose layered animations in a ratatui app
• run animated terminal UIs in the browser via wasm
• apply shader-like visual effects to terminal widgets

When to choose

• you're building a Ratatui-based TUI and want polished animations
• you need composable, cell-targeted terminal effects
• you want effects that also run in wasm or no_std environments

When to avoid

• your TUI is not built with Ratatui
• you need GPU-accelerated graphics rather than terminal cell effects
• you want a full TUI framework rather than an effects layer
