Are console apps still worth it for end users?

I’m making some cool tools, but I’ve noticed that building a GUI often takes a lot of extra time. So, for my personal projects, I usually use console apps instead.

I created a FOSS library called ConsolePlus that makes it easier to read and parse user input directly from the console. It has built-in parsing for common data types, for example:

  • ReadInt()

  • ReadBool()

  • ReadString()

I also used ConsolePlus to build another FOSS project called 2faConsole.

I don’t have much experience with this kind of project yet, and I haven’t received much feedback. So I’d really appreciate your opinion:

Do you think I should continue developing ConsolePlus?

I have plans to make it more advanced in the future, but I’d like to know if you think it’s actually useful before I invest more time into it.

Both projects are available on GitHub.
