## What it is
uilive is a Go library for updating terminal output in realtime via a buffered io.Writer flushed at a timed interval. It powers libraries like uiprogress and is useful for rendering live-updating command-line interfaces.

## Use cases
- render live progress bars in a go cli
- update terminal output in realtime
- show download progress in the terminal
- build live-updating console dashboards in go
- refresh multi-line terminal output periodically

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight go library for realtime terminal rendering
- you want a simple io.Writer-based approach to updating console output
- you are building progress displays or live status lines in a go cli

## When to avoid
- you need full TUI widgets like tables, menus, or input handling
- you are not working in Go
- you need a maintained framework with active development

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: terminal-ui, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: windows, go, cli
- tags: terminal-output, realtime-rendering, io-writer, progress-display, command-line, linux, macos
