Patches for new features are welcome ( writing a whole new front end
is not easy, but if you were to take a stab at writing it we could
include and maintain it ).  As this is not a bug report, I am closing it.

Hi all,

It would be great to have a console UI that uses parted as a backend.

There was nparted but has been removed from distros and is gone.

There is gnu-fdisk but it is all sorts of unmaintained and broken.

There is cparted but it has do-not-use warnings all over it.

Have you considered adding a console/ncurses UI?

It would need to be maintained as part of parted otherwise it will just
bitrot and die like the rest of the implementations have so far.
