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…

Datacmd – Terminal-native dashboards from CSV/API in one command launched on August 30, 2025 with 5 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

Datacmd is the fastest, coolest way to turn raw data into stunning terminal dashboards. No setup, no fluff — just run a command and boom, your CSV or API becomes a live data experience. ⚡ CLI dashboards have never been this fun. - VincenzoManto/Datacmd

Turn any data source into a stunning interactive dashboard, directly in your terminal. No fluff, no GUI, just pure terminal sorcery. ⚡ Tired of bloated web UIs? datacmd brings data visualization back to where real devs live: the terminal. Think of it like htop meets grafana , but cooler and terminal-native. It follows my obsession with data, which I developed by building https://datastripes.com , the web data engine that transform data analysis into simple flows. 📦 Go to the Releases page and download the latest binary for your OS. # macOS / Linux chmod +x datacmd ./datacmd --generate --source=your-data.csv # Windows datacmd.exe --generate --source=your-data.csv Option 2: Run from source…from github.com

  • A terminal spreadsheet editor with Vim keybindingsApr 2026 · github.com · ▲126

    While speccing out this spreadsheet tool, I realized that I never had to think about the keybindings. It all just came naturally from Vim. Normal/insert/visual modes, hjkl navigation, dd/yy/p, :w, :q. The usual muscle memory works. It supports CSV/TSV import and export, and a native .cell format that preserves formulas. The formula engine handles SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, MIN, MAX, and IF with range references. The codebase is a Cargo workspace: a pure cell-sheet-core library (no TUI dependency) and a cell-sheet-tui crate on top of ratatui. Early days, but it's usable. To…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

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…
