Fwtui – A terminal UI for managing UFW (built with Bubble Tea)
I recently started writing Go professionally, after spending several years working mostly in Elm. Coming from Elm, I was naturally drawn to the Bubble Tea framework because of its Elm-like architecture and functional style. That made it a great fit for a hobby project to deepen my Go knowledge. The result is fwtui – a terminal UI for managing UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) on Linux. What it does: Browse, add, and remove firewall rules Easily apply popular default profiles (e.g., SSH, HTTP, PostgreSQL) or create a custom one Understandable ports syntax with TCP/UDP support and range…

In plain words
Fwtui is a terminal user interface for managing UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) on Linux systems. It allows users to browse, add, and remove firewall rules, apply preset profiles like SSH and HTTP, and create custom configurations with support for TCP/UDP ports and ranges. Built in Go using the Bubble Tea framework, it operates entirely through the keyboard and works over SSH connections, making it suitable for system administrators and developers who prefer managing firewall settings from the command line.

fwtui is a terminal-based UI built in Go to help you manage UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) rules with ease. No more memorizing complex command-line syntax — fwtui gives you a clean, responsive, and keyboard-driven interface to view and manage firewall rules directly from your terminal. wget https://github.com/Beny406/fwtui/releases/latest/download/fwtui -O fwtui chmod +x fwtui 🏃 Running sudo ./fwtui The app needs sudo because managing UFW firewall rules requires administrative privileges. Without it, the app can’t apply or modify system firewallfrom github.com

Gonzo – A Go-based TUI for log analysis (OpenTelemetry/OTLP support)2025 · github.com · ▲74We built Gonzo to make log analysis faster and friendlier in the terminal. Think of it like k9s for logs — a TUI that can ingest JSON, text, or OpenTelemetry (OTLP) logs, highlight and boil up patterns, and even run AI models locally or via API to summarize logs. We’re still iterating, so ideas and contributions are welcome!

Gotui – a modern Go terminal dashboard libraryDec 2025 · github.com · ▲49I’ve been working on gotui, a modern fork of the unmaintained termui, rebuilt on top of tcell for TrueColor, mouse support, and proper resize handling. It keeps the simple termui-style API, but adds a bunch of new widgets (charts, gauges, world map, etc.), nicer visuals (collapsed borders, rounded corners), and input components for building real dashboards and tools. Under the hood the renderer’s been reworked for much better performance, and I’d love feedback on what’s missing for you to use it in production.

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

Tapflow 2.0▲1,125We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
