UPDATE! : Perfmon is now Perfdeck!!

HN Post : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47678920

I have officially renamed the project to Perfdeck to avoid naming conflicts and provide more unique identity.

Fixed the go install issues reported by users. You can install without any issues.

Working on brew install for Mac. Will be out soon.

Check out the latest version on https://github.com/sumant1122/perfdeck

Would love feedback on this.

Original post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47649701

Following some feedback about the original name being already taken, I have rebranded the project and released v0.3.0. This release isn't just a rename, it is s a complete refinement of the installation and cross-platform experience.

Homebrew is almost ready. Preparing for a Homebrew release (coming in v0.4.0).

I would love to hear your thoughts on the new name and the tabbed approach to monitoring.

Appreciate the feedback folks.

Yes, I realize now that the name "Perform" is taken. Will have it changed that resonates with the monitoring/observability theme.

Will fix other issues as well.

Perfmon essentially allows you to define commands you use daily, defined them in a toml file and tab them, ie customizable. It could be docker or kubernetes commands and so on. This is different from btm.

Bottom(btm) gives just more graphical than top.

I built Perfmon because I found myself constantly switching between multiple terminal tabs to check different system metrics (top for processes, vmstat for memory, netstat for traffic, etc.). I wanted a single, unified view that didn't just show a hardcoded set of stats, but let me bring my own tools.

What makes it different: Unlike static monitors like htop or btop, Perfmon is designed around a tabbed interface where each tab is just a shell command defined in a TOML config. If you have a specific script or a grep command you run every 5 seconds to check a log or a metric, you can just drop it into the config, and it becomes a tab in your dashboard.

Key Features: - Extensible: Define any shell command as a tab. - Live Metrics: Real-time sparklines for CPU, Mem, Load, and Network (works on Linux, macOS, and Windows). - Modern TUI: Built using the Go bubbletea framework for a clean, responsive feel. - Lightweight: Minimal resource footprint.

Ask HN: Software upgrade recommendation engine – Planning to build one

paperplaneflyr — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 05:31:47 +0000

Pitch : A Software upgrade recommendation engine that examines your current software and recommends stable version. This engine is agentic AI that checks various sources to built compatibility and provide detailed report. This will be helpful for DevOps/SRE and unburden them from reparative upgrade research work.

We have tons and tons of software being used everywhere, but very few products exist that actually verify the software you use in your org/project are not out-dated, example old versions of docker or ubuntu. While they may keep running on for another 10 years, but from security risks always exist.

Neat observation. Where do you think this can be applied apart from lobste.rs?

Show HN: AgentLog – a lightweight event bus for AI agents using JSONL logs

paperplaneflyr — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 18:39:16 +0000

I’ve been experimenting with infrastructure for multi-agent systems.

I built a small project called AgentLog.

The core idea is very simple, topics are just append-only JSONL files.

Agents publish events over HTTP and subscribe to streams using SSE.

The system is intentionally single-node and minimal for now.

Future ideas I’m exploring: - replayable agent workflows - tracing reasoning across agents - visualizing event timelines - distributed/federated agent logs

Curious if others building agent systems have run into similar needs.

BookGraph demonstrates that the next leap in AI isn't just "smarter models", it's better context. By combining the reasoning power of LLMs with the structural integrity of Graph Databases, we move from a world where we "search" for information to a world where we "interact" with intelligence.

paperplaneflyr — Sun, 15 Feb 2026 13:07:59 +0000

I built HN Status Bar, a small VS Code extension that shows Hacker News stories in the status bar while coding.

What it does:

- Shows one HN story at a time - Rotates automatically (default 20s) - Refreshes from the HN API - Click current story to open it - Configurable settings (timing, item count, score visibility)

Feedback welcome.

Going to the example used thousands of times, maybe the horse drivers thought the same way, but guess what? now we have cars, race cars, super cars, flying cars. The engine kept changing, car markets kept evolving. People kept adapting. Adapting is the only way or the Penguin way :P
