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.
(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).

And it also features a great list of them here that many might not have heard of.

For example trippy and nvtop look very nice for TUIs and other 'top' based tools they have listed there.

There's screenshots and install instructions that's also convenient.
