I like it, but why not use something like htop? [1]

Perhaps it's not entirely comparable, but you do not need to open any extra ports or run any extra processes.

It looks really nice though! [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Htop

I love htop too, but the great thing about scout_realtime is the couple minutes of context provided the charts.

Sometimes, nothing beats seeing a chart to quickly see what's going on.

That is true, charts are nice.

I actually mostly use glances [1]. I forgot to mention glances in my comment.

Nice. The play/pause should be one button that changes icon -- the current setup is a little confusing.

I'd just like to add that I fully agree. It's a confusing setup as it is now.

Sorry to be the one posting a tangent (looks like a nice tool!), but please rewrite "for the modern man" to something more gender neutral.

I agree with this. I know "for the modern man" is an idiom, but I think it's better to be overly conscious about this stuff. Would you lose anything by saying "for the modern dev"?
