An old-school terminal-based inventory management system built with Rust and Cursive.
🖥️ Text-based User Interface (TUI) Inventory System
This project is an experiment in building a Text User Interface application using the Cursive library — a powerful TUI framework for Rust. Inspired by classic terminal apps, it offers a practical solution for managing a simple inventory of products with full keyboard interaction.
Ideal for Rust learners and enthusiasts exploring terminal UI development.
