Is there a resource out there on how to write these beautiful terminal HUDs?
I'd really like to step up my game for GUI monitoring apps without having to choose between either terminal log spam, PyQT, or a web server. Ideally I'd have something like htop/wavemon/power top that I could stream compactly via ssh.
- lallysingh 10y agoI think you're just looking for a book on (n)curses.
- blacksmith_tb 10y agoFor another fun ncurses tool (on a similar wavelength) I have become fond of glances[1] - it breaks out docker containers nicely, along with the good top-like overview of all procs. 1: https://github.com/nicolargo/glances https://github.com/nicolargo/glances
- Gruselbauer 10y agoFor general use I'd like to add multitail (logging done wonderfully right), canto-rss (RSS reader/server), ncTelegram (Telegram client), turses (Twitter client), centerim (multi protocol IM client), weechat (IRC) and iftop (traffic monitoring for me), alpine (mail client) and mc (file manager). At least they're the tools termux starts with on my VPS and I pretty much live on there.
