ANSI Dynamic terminal state renderer

bytechroma

Bare-metal terminal renderer built entirely on ANSI escape codes. Designed for ultra-fast terminal updates where print() spam and heavy renderers become the bottleneck. Ideal for websocket feeds, market data, logs, telemetry, and realtime dashboards.

Features

• Pure ANSI rendering
• Minimal CPU overhead
• Zero UI framework dependency
• Optimized for high-frequency updates
• Key/value style rendering
• Optional batching for extreme throughput

Installation

   pip install bytechroma
   pip install git+https://github.com/GidTheGreat/bytechroma.git

Basic Usage

   from bytechroma import ByteChroma
    bc = ByteChroma()
    bc.update("price", "104532")
    bc.update("volume", "82.1")

High Frequency Streams

    import threading
    from bytechroma import ByteChroma
    bc = ByteChroma(flush_interval=2)
    t = threading.Thread(target=bc.auto_flush_loop)
    t.daemon = True
    t.start()
    bc.update("btc", "104532")
    bc.update("eth", "5921")

Why batching helps

without batching

   update -> render -> flush
   update -> render -> flush
   update -> render -> flush

with batching

   1000 updates -> single render -> single flush

+ less terminal I/0
+ less redraw pressure
+ smoother feeds

Use cases

• Crypto orderbooks
• Websocket feeds
• Realtime monitoring
• CLI dashboards
• Telemetry streams
• Low-overhead logging

Philosophy

Most terminal libraries optimize aesthetics. bytechroma optimizes throughput
