Show HN: Datacmd – Terminal-native dashboards from CSV/API in one command

Hi HN, I built Datacmd to eliminate bloated dashboards and browser UIs. It turns any CSV, JSON, API feed into live, terminal-native dashboards with one command. Fast. Minimal. Developer-centric. AND IT'S OPEN SOURCE https://github.com/VincenzoManto/datacmd What it does: * Generates dynamic dashboards in the terminal: tables, gauges, pie charts, line charts, radars, text boxes * Layout auto-generated or configurable via YAML * Supports CSV, JSON, REST APIs, live system metrics (CPU, memory, disk) Why this matters: * No GUI. Instant visuals where developers live * Zero setup. Download binary or use "go run", and dashboards appear * Great for sysadmins, devs, ops, data hackers working in terminal-first workflows What I learned building it: Automating a clean layout via algorithm beats manual dashboard design for fast insights. Generating wid

gets in terminal forces clarity - no fluff, just signal. Looking for feedback on: * Performance with massive datasets (>100k rows) * UX: readability, layout transitions, color themes * Widget ideas: real-time alerts, sparkline ring charts, CLI-friendly drill-downs Live on GitHub. Let me know if you want a downloadable binary or CI build link. Open to contributions, bug reports, wild dashboard ideas.

My first project in Go is a terminal dashboard (what a programming language)

Just wrapped up my first Go project and wow, what a language. I'm a WebDev but I studied both C and C++: Go feels like the smart, minimalist cousin that cuts the fluff but keeps the power. - Compilation is instant - Syntax is clean and predictable - The tooling is chef's kiss (go run for example) To test the waters, I built something fun: Datacmd that is a CLI tool that turns CSV/JSON/API data into beautiful terminal dashboards with a single command. No GUI. Just pure terminal magic: datacmd --generate --source=data.csv Supports pie charts, gauges, tables, live system metrics, and it's built on top of termdash. I see termdash was missing pie charts, tables and radar chart, so I tried implementing myself. GitHub: github.com/VincenzoManto/datacmd Feedback and PRs welcome (probably there a lot of bugs), I’d love to grow this into a go-to too
