ratcrate-tui: Ratatui Ecosystem Explorer

📦 What is ratcrate-tui?

ratcrates is a powerful and fast Terminal User Interface (TUI) application designed to help you discover and manage crates within the Ratatui ecosystem. It provides a seamless, terminal-native experience for navigating lists of libraries, viewing detailed statistics, and quickly finding the right package for your project.

Built entirely in Rust, ratcrates is an example of the clean and efficient TUIs you can build with ratatui itself.

✨ Key Features

• Instant Access: Fast data retrieval using local caching, ensuring the application is responsive.
• Comprehensive Data: Displays package name, description, version, downloads (total and weekly), repository links, and categories for every crate.
• Smart Filtering: Quickly switch between showing all crates, core libraries only, or various filtered lists like Top Downloads or Newest.
• Vim-Style Navigation: Use familiar keys like j, k, Ctrl+d, Ctrl+u, g, and G to move through lists.
• Interactive Command Mode: Execute powerful search and filter commands using the : prompt.

🎯 Ecosystem Goal

The primary purpose of ratcrates is to make the rich collection of Ratatui-related crates more accessible and discoverable, promoting the adoption and growth of the TUI community in Rust.
