Network throughput as an 80s sunset. A two-sided bar chart of live traffic over time — egress (TX) climbing up from a neon zero-axis, ingress (RX) falling down, newest sample on the right. One interface or all of them, sampled straight from the kernel's byte counters.

AI Analysis

●●SolidEye CandyWizardry

Sub-cell resolution rendering with eighth-block glyphs makes throughput charts actually readable.

Strengths
  • •Sub-cell resolution with eighth-block glyphs for fractional bar heights
  • •No root required — reads kernel counters via yeet's unprivileged socket
  • •Hover or drag across chart to read exact rates at any time point
Weaknesses
  • •Network monitoring TUIs already exist (iftop, nethogs, bmon)
  • •Linux-only with no Windows or macOS support planned
Target Audience

Linux sysadmins and developers monitoring network traffic

Post Description

I built this TUI for inspecting network throughput per interface on any linux machine. It updates live and supports mouse interactions
