Datacmd – Terminal-native dashboards from CSV/API in one command
Hi HN, I built Datacmd to eliminate bloated dashboards and browser UIs. It turns any CSV, JSON, API feed into live, terminal-native dashboards with one command. Fast. Minimal. Developer-centric. AND IT'S OPEN SOURCE https://github.com/VincenzoManto/datacmd What it does: * Generates dynamic dashboards in the terminal: tables, gauges, pie charts, line charts, radars, text boxes * Layout auto-generated or configurable via YAML * Supports CSV, JSON, REST APIs, live system metrics (CPU, memory, disk) Why this matters: * No GUI. Instant visuals where developers live * Zero…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN, I built Datacmd to eliminate bloated dashboards and browser UIs. It turns any CSV, JSON, API feed into live, terminal-native dashboards with one command. Fast. Minimal. Developer-centric. AND IT'S OPEN SOURCE https://github.com/VincenzoManto/datacmd What it does: * Generates dynamic dashboards in the terminal: tables, gauges, pie charts, line charts, radars, text boxes * Layout auto-generated or configurable via YAML * Supports CSV, JSON, REST APIs, live system metrics (CPU, memory, disk) Why this matters: * No GUI. Instant visuals where developers live * Zero setup. Download binary or use "go run", and dashboards appear * Great for sysadmins, devs, ops, data hackers working in terminal-first workflows What I learned building it: Automating a clean layout via algorithm beats manual dashboard design for fast insights. Generating widgets in terminal forces clarity - no fluff, just signal. Looking for feedback on: * Performance with massive datasets (>100k rows) * UX: readability, layout transitions, color themes * Widget ideas: real-time alerts, sparkline ring charts, CLI-friendly drill-downs Live on GitHub. Let me know if you want a downloadable binary or CI build link. Open to contributions, bug reports, wild dashboard ideas.

I built the world's most impractical 1000-pixel display and anyone in the world can draw on it. It draws a single pixel at a time and takes 30-60 minutes to complete a single image. Anyone can participate in the project by voting for the next image to be drawn, and submitting images. https://kilopx.com/

Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…

I was wondering how I can arrange objects along a spherical helix path, and read some articles on it. I ended up learning about parametric equations again, and make this visualization to document what I learned: https://visualrambling.space/moving-objects-in-3d/ feel free to visit and let me know what you think!

For HTML Day 2025 [1], I made a web service that displays the current sky at your approximate location as a CSS gradient. Colours are simulated on-demand using atmospheric absorption and scattering coefficients. Updates every minute, without the use of client-side JavaScript.
