I Built STRM: A Movie Search TUI for the Terminal
I recently built STRM, an open-source terminal application that lets you search for movies without leaving the command line.
Why I built it
I like terminal applications and wanted to create a movie-search experience that felt clean, fast, and easy to navigate.
Instead of building another basic command that prints plain text, I wanted STRM to feel like a complete application running inside the terminal.
Built from scratch
I built the entire project myself.
I spent hours designing the interface, implementing the functionality, testing the navigation, fixing bugs, and improving how everything looks and behaves inside different terminal sizes.
Building a TUI presented some interesting challenges because terminal applications have limited space and need to work entirely through keyboard controls.
Features
- Search for movies from the terminal
- Clean terminal user interface
- Keyboard-based navigation
- Fast and lightweight experience
- Open-source code

What features would you add to a terminal movie application?
