Curses! Another library!

(Sorry, that piece of software name always make me chuckle.)

Hello everyone! This project is a work in progress modern C++ convenience wrapper for the ncurses library. It aims to help you create TUIs in an easy manner using C++. I've been working on it for quite some time now, and would appreciate your thoughts on it or any potential feedback :)

Any reason to use this over notcurses? Are there docs somewhere with examples on how to get started?

Hello, this is the first time I hear of notcurses, so I cannot speak about the differences yet, although it looks much more complex than mine aims to be. This is my first big project, and I only aimed to provide a simple convenience wrapper. As for documentation, it's in the plans, you can however check the demo to get an idea of the current state of the API, but keep in mind it's still WIP.
