What is sysview and how do I install it?

npm install -g @12britz/sysview — then sysview dashboard for full overview. Works on macOS/Linux, Node 16+.

Does sysview replace htop?

Not fully — htop's king for deep process interaction. Sysview wins on quick scans, git ties, and pretty bars.

Yes, npm-published, TypeScript src on GitHub. No agents, zero config.

Developers, ditch the command frenzy. Sysview packs system vitals into a sleek terminal dashboard — no setup, pure insight.
