I left a different comment, but I think this is good. You're example is 3306 and has a useful breakdown. Not everyone has that port memorized by trauma, and not every mysql instance uses that port.

New tools are always welcome, and having a purpose to explain a purpose seems like a good pitch.

Totally. Just to clarify, witr isn’t limited to ports. You can run it directly on a process too, like `witr mysql`. I used the 3306 example to emphasize this use case.
