+sboui is an ncurses-based user interface for sbopkg, sbotools, and similar tools
+to manage packages built from SlackBuilds.org scripts. Unlike other Slackware
+system administration tools with dialog-based user interfaces, sboui is written
+in C++ utilizing low-level ncurses library calls. It features a two-pane listing
+of software groups and names, multiple filters, searching, forward and inverse
+dependency resolution, tagging multiple packages to apply batch changes,
+configurable colors, and more. In addition to supporting the well-known SBo
+package managers, it is also easy to make it work with custom tools.
+
+Note: the only required dependency is libconfig, but you also need to have an
+SBo package manager installed for it to be useful.
