DownloadConsoleGUI is a simple layout-driven .NET framework for creating console-based GUI applications. It provides the most essential layout management utilities as well as a set of basic controls. This framework is platform-agnostic and dependency-free. The library targets .NET standard 2.0 and should run fine on both Windows and Linux machines. What sets this library apart from other projects that provide similar functionalities, is the fact that the ConsoleGUI framework is fully layout-driven. In this regard, it’s more like WPF or HTML, than for example Windows Forms. You don’t specify the exact coordinates at which a given control should reside, but rather let stack panels, dock panels, and other layout managers do their work. I don’t claim it’s THE right way of doing things, it’s just what my background is. The ConsoleGUI (as many other UI frameworks) is not thread-safe. All UI changes should be performed from the same thread.
