A New UI For The Humble Terminal

Nx 21 Launch Week introduces significant improvements to the developer experience, particularly with the release of a new terminal user interface (TUI) as part of the migration to Rust. The new TUI, built using the Rust library Ratatui, provides a clear and interactive way to manage multiple project tasks by organizing outputs into a scrollable list rather than a single, mixed stream. This enhancement allows developers to inspect specific tasks, filter projects, and pin outputs for continuous monitoring, addressing previous challenges with task visibility and separation in monorepos. While this updated TUI is currently unavailable on Windows due to issues with pseudo-terminals, it is accessible for macOS and Linux users.
