Support for terminal UI? #163

Open Shellcat-Zero opened 3 years ago

Shellcat-Zero commented 3 years ago

This looks like a very cool project. I was just wondering if there was any plan or interest in rendering views from within the terminal (like with ncurses), which I tend to prefer over GUIs. Not sure what the limitations would be there though with regards to charts and graphs.

@Shellcat-Zero sorry totally missed this.

Yes 💯 we are open to this.

We've actually thought about using ptk, particularly the layout engine for a real-time watch list / monitor / scanner table. there may be more established/modern frameworks tho that are better suited. would def be interested to see what you're after and you could always make it as a consumer of our apis / service system.

Not sure what the limitations would be there though with regards to charts and graphs.

this would likely be very difficult to accomplish. A reference project for what this might look like is stonks. unfortunately, not sure how well that would perform for the average trader 😂

Could be handy for just watching though, and would definitely consider a terminal chart addition if peeps want it.
