In anticipation for receiving my uConsole I was researching terminal based menu systems. I liked the idea of navigating an application launcher in the terminal as I thought this would be a nice way to use the uConsole.

I couldn’t find anything that met my needs but I did find `[simple-term-menu](https://github.com/IngoMeyer441/simple-term-menu)` that i could configure for my needs. I created a fairly simple way to configure `simple-term-menu` that allows a user to create menus, entries for launching applications, terminal or GUI, and launching scripts, SSH connections, pretty much anything you want really.

Anyway I have been using it on my daily driver for a couple of weeks now and I find it a great way to use my machine so I thought I would share here in case anyone else finds it useful.

It is available as `[climenu](https://github.com/graynada/climenu)` hope someone finds it useful and please let me know if you use it on your uConsole
