If you code in Java, and like TUI (console type applications), then you might enjoy Jexer: https://gitlab.com/klamonte/jexer

I started Jexer in 2013, and off-and-on it's gotten better. I think my favorite part has been crossing paths with other terminal emulator ecosystem folks over the last few years. This release brings a few prettified effects inspired by other projects that you are all hopefully quite familiar with (notcurses, chafa, and vtm):

* Translucent windows, including images under/over each other and text.

* Animated/pulsing text

* Animated gifs

* A new XtermVideoPlayer example that uses ffmpeg/JavaCV to play movies inside a text-draggable window. (No audio though.)

* New button styles: round, diamond, left/right arrows. The button ends and shadows are drawn with images so specific font support is not required.

* A _much_ faster and _much_ higher quality sixel encoder.

* Different window border styles: single, double, none, and rounded corners.

* A femme theme option.

It's on maven and Sourceforge.
