I’ve been working on essh, a pure-Rust SSH client with:
TUI dashboard
Concurrent sessions
Password/key/agent auth
Host monitoring
Connection diagnostics
It’s meant to make terminal-based server work feel more like a real operational workspace instead of one disconnected shell at a time.
Install:
cargo install essh

Would love feedback from Rust/Linux/infra folks.
I've been building NetWatch, a terminal-first network diagnostics tool for the "what is my machine/network doing right now?" problem.
It gives you:
- interface RX/TX rates
- active connections with process attribution
- gateway and DNS health
- packet capture with filtering and stream view
- topology + traceroute
- per-process bandwidth
- PCAP export
The new release adds a rolling Flight Recorder: arm a 5-minute window, freeze it when something goes wrong, then export an incident bundle with packet data and surrounding context.
Install:
- `brew install matthart1983/tap/netwatch`
- `cargo install netwatch-tui`
Repo: https://github.com/matthart1983/netwatch
If you live in tools like tcpdump, Wireshark, iftop, bandwhich, lsof, or netstat, I'd love to know what you'd want in a terminal workflow like this. AI Tools were used in the assistance of development.
