This look promising. I imagine aggregating data from multiple source is hard, yet still very usefull.

So you ported a library and a program from python to C++, with still interaction with python modules. Looks like fairly complete and rich experience with programming.

ncurses is probably hard to deal with, I cannot even compile it from the latest source. :-(

I suggest you to go with an expternal tool such as dmenu or equivalent for the terminal, or build a simple one from scratch in plain C / C++.

You can print terminal escape sequences like '\033[7m\033[K' to highlight a whole line, then '\033[m' at the end. Then you can redraw the screen at every cursor movement with '\033[H\033[J' which also put the cursor at the top.
