It's easy to do. The grid layout is optional. You can give relative and absolute positions. The first code sample in the readme shows something like this (though position is implicit there). You can also read about blessed (=ncurses for node) which this project is implemented as an extention of.

As a side note, there is also OhUI (https://github.com/arcanis/ohui, i'm the author) which has the same goal than blessed, but a different api (dom-based) and codebase.
Blessed is great, but I had some performance issues with really fast updates, so I made OhUI, which tries to minimize as much as possible the repaint zones. I think it is pretty efficient at this regard.
