Overview
Nocterm is a Flutter-inspired framework designed for creating rich, interactive terminal user interfaces. It brings familiar concepts like components, state management, and animations to the command-line environment, enabling developers to build dynamic CLI apps with a modern UI feel. Built for cross-platform use, Nocterm runs on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux, making it ideal for tools that require both visual appeal and terminal integration. Its component-based architecture simplifies UI development while maintaining performance and responsiveness in text-based environments.
