Agenda of the post:
Because your terminal deserves to look awesome too! 🎨✨

🧠 Why?
Command-line tools don’t have to be boring. With just a few lines of Python, you can create stunning and interactive dashboards right in your terminal using:

🖼 pyfiglet for ASCII art headers.
🎨 rich for colorful tables, progress, and layout.
Perfect for monitoring tasks, showing progress, or just flexing your dev setup.

🧰 Requirements
Install these if you haven’t already:

pip install pyfiglet rich

The code:

import pyfiglet
from rich.console import Console
from rich.table import Table
# Initializing rich console
console = Console()
# Creating ASCII art banner
ascii_banner = pyfiglet.figlet_format("CLI Dashboard")
console.print(f"[bold cyan]{ascii_banner}[/bold cyan]")
# Creating a rich table
table = Table(title="📊 Task Overview", style="bold magenta")
table.add_column("Task", style="cyan", no_wrap=True)
table.add_column("Status", style="green")
table.add_column("Progress", justify="right", style="yellow")
# Adding rows to the table
table.add_row("Data Sync", "✅ Complete", "100%")
table.add_row("Model Training", "⚙️ Running", "76%")
table.add_row("Report Generation", "⏳ Pending", "0%")
# Displaying the table
console.print(table)
