Use a graphical interface
Currently silkaj is using dirty one-shot os.system("clear") then tabulate/texttable libs to display charts.
It's not possible to sort lines and to keep open all this charts. It could also be possible to see evolving charts.
Silkaj can be a multiple-gui client. Silkaj would stay a CLI client. Then, I would preferably go first for a console client using blessed/curses, then a GUI client using PyGObject/GTK4.
We could have three modes with differents features depending on the interface:
silkaj-clisilkaj-console/tuisilkaj-gtk/gui
Curses libraries
All in Debian
- blessed − doc
- urwid
- curtisies
- terminaltables
- npyscreen − Blog article
- picotui
- asciimatics
- bitcoind-ncurses2
Curses
To do so, I suggest to use curses lib.
We could takes example and use curses lib used on XMPP console client Poezio.

- Could also be a solution, but it would need lots of work.
- Could be a nice way to have it on the Librem 5/PinePhone
