β What is it?
The-Mee-Null is a command-line glow-up machine. β¨
It transforms your basic terminal into a visually stunning, rainbow-blasted experience without spending hours tweaking your .bashrc or .zshrc.
Born from a desire to have a cool terminal setup without the hassle, this is a Terminal User Interface (TUI) app for anyone who loves aesthetics but also lovesβ¦ being lazy. π
π How it was born?
This is my first ever Terminal UI project, and one Iβm super proud of! I built it using ftxui, a fantastic C++ library for building rich terminal interfaces.
- π½ Uses figlet to render stylish ASCII banners
- π Adds lolcat for that colorful, rainbow terminal output
- β¨ Powered by ftxui for dynamic layout and interaction
- π¨ Written entirely in C++ β outside the classroom, for real-world fun!
π§ What I Learned?
This project opened a whole new world of TUI development:
- ππ» Hands-on C++ experience outside academia
- π‘ Understanding terminal rendering concepts with ftxui
- π» How to make CLIs not just functional, but delightful
- π§ Packaging and running apps on real Linux environments (Ubuntu, Pop!_OS)
π¨ Give Your Terminal a Facelift
The-Mee-Null is easy to set up and super satisfying to use. Youβll need:
- π§ Ubuntu-based distro (for now)
- π€ Nerd Fonts installed
- π figlet + lolcat for maximum terminal flair
