### What we like

Build a custom dashboard within your terminal. Lots of modules out of the box - IP info, clocks, system status, feed reader, Hacker News feed, GitHub, various monitoring tools, etc. Create custom modules in Go or use a simple command runner module. Customize layout via config file. Cross-platform & open source.

### Tradeoffs

Long config files can be a bit annoying to work with. Some stability issues reported on Windows and if there is no internet connection.
