Amber Console

Ember is a collection of redshift-aware color palettes for terminals, interfaces, charts, and heat maps. It models warm-screen filters at 3400 K, 2000 K, and 1200 K, where each RGB channel is multiplied by a different gain, and supplies palettes designed to preserve text readability, categorical color separation, contrast, perceptual separation, and ordered lightness after the modeled transform. It includes neutral or warm-neutral text and surface colors, terminal accents, categorical palettes, and 256-sample sequential maps; deeper filters intentionally provide fewer distinct semantic colors and may assign unsupported ANSI names as aliases. The palettes are distributed in terminal, CSS, JSON, Python, and Matplotlib formats. The repository documents deterministic filtered-output simulations based on published gains rather than photographs, calibrated physical color temperatures, or predictions of every display pipeline.

TermDOM is a JavaScript/TypeScript library for building terminal applications with HTML, CSS, and DOM APIs. It renders DOM nodes into a grid of terminal character cells, supporting CSS stylesheets and the box model, flexbox and table layout, text-width handling for CJK and other characters, forms, scrolling, Web Components, selection, and keyboard, mouse, focus, paste, and input events. It implements a browser-like rendering pipeline against character cells rather than pixels: styles and layout are recomputed for mutated content, the result is painted into a cell buffer, and differences from the previous frame are written to standard output as ANSI escape sequences. Input escape sequences are decoded into events dispatched to DOM nodes, and utilities such as querySelector(), MutationObserver, ResizeObserver, and getBoundingClientRect() operate on the cell-based layout.

MicroLighter is a tiny, dependency-free browser syntax highlighter developed by davatron5000. It uses TextMate grammars and the CSS Custom Highlight API to highlight code without wrapping each token in a span, keeping the DOM clean and code blocks editable. It provides programmatic and automatic highlighting APIs, an optional <micro-lighter> web component, on-demand support for 35 languages, and 10 bundled themes. It can be installed from npm or loaded from a CDN.

A framework-free WebGL2 package for rendering Apple-inspired translucent glass surfaces for folders, rectangles, pills, and circles. Its renderer models screen-space refraction using a squircle signed-distance-field thickness field, Snell refraction with a meniscus rim, variable-blur scattering, Fresnel reflection, chromatic dispersion, edge highlights, contact shadows, hit testing, and live backdrops. It provides the original frosted V1 renderer and a separate clear optical V2 renderer, each with its own material contract; both can be used together. The package is distributed through npm, requires WebGL2, accepts CSS-pixel element coordinates, and can load image backdrops.

hqtui is a TypeScript terminal UI library developed by profullstack for building btop-style dashboards with a one-import API and zero runtime dependencies. It renders directly through ANSI/VT sequences using a typed-array cell framebuffer, differential rendering, truecolor with automatic 256- and 16-color fallback, and Braille or block graphics, without ncurses, a browser DOM, React, native add-ons, or network access. Its API provides layouts, panels, tables, trees, logs, meters, graphs, forms, dialogs, themes, mouse input, and responsive terminal handling. A headless renderer can produce text, screen, ANSI, or HTML output for testing without a TTY. Bun is the default runtime; Node 22.6 or newer is supported, with best-effort Deno support. The project is MIT-licensed and includes a demo dashboard with real or simulated system metrics.
