Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones?
I use relatively few TUI's, and don't know much about them—about what good, convenient UX flows in TUI's can look like. I want to write some in Emacs. Do you have particularly nice examples of TUI's that deserve to be known and imitated? I know there's a lot of abandoned programs from the pre-GUI era that refined TUI's to a high level.<p>(I'm only familiar with a handful of modern ones in Emacs—Magit, the SLIME inspector, dired, as well as the terminal TUI from the Linux tool perf).

Show HN: A free site to explore and discover 6k plants
I’ve loved keeping plants since I was a kid. But the online world of plants can be confusing - strange vocabulary, plants going by conflicting names, and hundreds of niche websites. I wanted to create a site that would organize all of this info and make it easier to explore and discover new plants. That’s why I created GetAnyPlant, which aggregates and matches plants from dozens of online stores. It includes huge amounts of data on these plants along with filters and categories to help you search. You can also save plants to your wishlist and add notes to them.<p>I’m a data scientist by profession, so probably 80% of the work was totally new to me. I built v1 using wordpress , v2 using django, and v3 I pivoted to using react and next js for frontend.<p>I would greatly appreciate any feedback on the site as well as any advice on how to grow it.
