## What it is
tui-rs is a Rust library for building rich terminal user interfaces and dashboards with immediate-mode rendering and a set of built-in widgets. It is no longer maintained; users should use the actively maintained ratatui fork instead.

## Use cases
- build a tui dashboard in rust
- render charts and gauges in the terminal
- create a terminal user interface for a cli app
- draw sparklines and progress bars in the terminal
- build an interactive terminal app with widgets

## When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy Rust project already built on tui
- you need a stable, MIT-licensed TUI widget library for Rust and cannot switch dependencies

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new Rust TUI project - use ratatui instead
- you need input handling or an event system, which this library does not provide
- you need ongoing maintenance, bug fixes, or new features

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: terminal-ui, ui-components, charts
- domain: developer-tools, data-visualization
- platform: rust, cli, cross-platform
- tags: tui, dashboard, widgets, crossterm, termion, unmaintained, command-line
