Hey HN!I built HardView, a cross-platform project for Windows and Linux that provides hardware information and monitoring. It combines Python, C++, and C libraries, with optional kernel drivers, giving developers a unified interface for accessing system and hardware metrics.Supported Platforms: Windows and Linux, Python 3.8–3.14Install (Python):pip install hardviewMore info / Docs: GitHub:...

Totally agree about the telemetry and detailed stats that was actually one of the main directions I had in mind when creating the library, which is why I added JSON format support to make it easier to send the data to servers.

Hi HN,I built a Python module called HardView to retrieve low-level hardware and system info across platforms.I needed something fast, structured, and consistent across Windows and Linux — something that could handle BIOS data, CPU, memory, disks, network, SMART attributes, and real-time monitoring.Most existing tools (like psutil or pySMART) either didn’t go deep enough, weren’t...
