netdata is pretty heavy on resources, especially disk writes. I'd appreciate improvement over it, but I won't try out this thing without indication that it improves anything. Especially with such useful features as space invaders built in…

It's a bit ironic (in the Alanis Morrisette sense) because NetData was built by a small community on Reddit to be small, lightweight, easy to deploy, open source, etc. Now it looks like any other commercial enterprise monitoring product.

That's fair. I can't resist putting easter eggs in my software, sorry :)

Yes, netdata was an inspiration, as I'd been using it for several years. Unfortunately, it stopped being what it initially was, and recently I was so disappointed that I decided to write my own tool. It's also true that I use AI models for coding, but I wouldn't exactly call it vibe coding, as I actively analyze what the models are doing and don't just blindly accept everything. I also try to thoroughly test my code, implement as many security-enhancing features as possible, and have multiple models review my code to catch as many bugs as possible.
