netwatch is an all in one network diagnostics tool that monitors connections in real time.

It has a live traffic timeline, ASCII network map, latency heat-maps and more.

Matt Hartley (matthart1983 on GitHub) made netwatch using @ratatui_rs and is Terminal Tool of the Week! ⭐️

someone built a $96 3D-PRINTED MANPADS rocket that recalculates its mid-air trajectory using a $5 sensor and piano wire

its called Project Canard

it integrates with distributed camera nodes to triangulate airborne targets and update flight paths in real-time

it proves the barrier to advanced hardware has completely collapsed, moving precision weapons from defense labs to consumer garages

the entire launcher and interceptor frame is 3D printed in PLA and runs off a standard off-the-shelf ESP32 microcontroller

it even spins up a local Wi-Fi network so you can monitor live telemetry and arm the system directly from your laptop

I built a procedural medieval island map generator using Wave Function Collapse on hex grids. 4,100 cells, 900 possible states per cell, 60fps on mobile. Wrote up the whole process with lessons learned. Links below 👇 #threejs #webgpu

@elonmusk What about Northern Ireland?

Not many seem to know this, but opentui lets you render Threejs scenes fully WebGPU accelerated.

To the terminal.

No special terminal features needed beyond 24bit color. It's all just partial block chars.
