  3. I recently found out https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom#readme (cargo install bottom; executable btm), it's a pretty great improvement over htop I was using before.

  4. Bottom is also great. I switched from btop because I preferred the config format. https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom

  5. lazydocker as well. Also a big fan of bottom ( https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom ) , which surprisignly enough even though it has charts and everything, it consumes way fewer resources on my system compared to htop.

  6. htop is great, but I've migrated to bottom which has a very similar interface with "btm --basic". [1] https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom
    comment by Arcuru · 2024-05-06 · in Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones?
  7. …three very neat ones are - https://github.com/eza-community/eza (ls with some added visual sugar) - https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom (htop but with graphs) - https://github.com/sharkdp/bat (cat with syntax highlight)

  8. …but there's a COPR for it. To install: sudo dnf copr enable atim/bottom sudo dnf install bottom [1] https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom

  9. I'd suggest Bottom as a TUI alternative to the in-built task managers - https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom It works on Windows also and in my opinion is better than the default on there too.
    comment by Grimburger · 2023-08-21 · in Windows 11 has made the “clean Windows install” an oxymoron
  10. - helix https://helix-editor.com/ - cleanshot x https://cleanshot.com/ - btm https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom

  12. rust dependency and npm like dependency hell https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom/blob/master/Cargo.loc... 1.7k LOC just for dependencies not my cup of tea

  13. …if you're looking for a rust-based resource monitor it's pretty much the best in the biz. [0] https://github.com/clementtsang/bottom
    comment by smoldesu · 2021-12-07 · in Bpytop: Linux/macOS/FreeBSD resource monitor
  14. For me, it's been bottom https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom and dua https://github.com/Byron/dua-cli for a while I've found some other cool CLIs written with rust at https://github.com/TaKO8Ki/awesome-alternatives-in-rust
