Wouldn't braille characters also make nicer progress bars? I think they look more dense then a bunch of ||||
Or perhaps some box-drawing characters (though they may not have the support that ||||| does)

#82I used to use htop, but switched to glances at some point, because of a quicker-to-find-the-info-you-want interface.
i just use terminals though, web-ui-everything is nice but also not all that convenient IMO since you need to forward ports 'n stuff.
With services like ngrok the need to port forward isn't as big.

#83Earlier quoted context omitted.
"Until it supports MY specific OS, it's not cross-platform, wah wah wah!" In this way, there is no cross-platform program at all, because there's always something that's not supported. How is Windows a measuring-stick of compatibility for UNIXlike tools? (And why would this ever be useful on Windows, which has completely different way of managing processes?)
I don't even use Windows. I'm just sayin' calling something cross-platform when it doesn't support most used OS is wrong.
I very much doubt that Windows is the "most used OS" where console applications are considered. That's just like saying "why do you call this airplane engine cross-platform when you can't even use it on a car? I don't care that it fits most airplanes, there are far more cars!" Different purposes.

#84I think htop and lua are probably the two main Brazilian contributions to the open source community.

... and the main author of Lua was the PhD advisor of the author of htop. Small world :)

#86Wait, where are the Windows binaries? Oh, I see. They trying to be smart and say "cross-platform" because now it runs on more Linux distros. That's not smart, that's faulty marketing. And AFAIK it already was running on 90% of Linux and also on MacOS.
No, it's accurate marketing. Asking for htop to be available on windows is kinda silly if you recall that htop is "top++" and depends on having a unix filesystem. "Cross-platform" is a contextual term.
Why does it depend on having a unix file systems ? (note that it doesn't use /proc on e.g. freebsd)

#89I don't suppose this finally allows sorting in tree view, does it? That's been a feature I've been wanting forever.
Tree view is sorted by pid only, sorry. I'm afraid moving entire subtrees based on other criteria (such as CPU%) would make the screen unbearably jumpy.
Is there a way to combine all the processes with the same command name?
I have a ton of mariadb processes (I don't even know if this is normal, but it seems to be working just fine) and it gets tiring having to scroll them just to glance the numbers on other processes.

#90Does that mean that it now works on OSX without root?
