I move around the office all day and there are a lot of wifi networks, most of them flaky. I keep ending up stuck on a bad one for wherever I'm sitting and having to guess which to switch to. So I built roamr: it tells you which of your saved networks is actually best where you are, and why. You still switch yourself.

mac (brew), windows (scoop), linux not fully tested. https://github.com/sourabh-khot65/roamr

Thanks! Would love your feedback once you give it a try.
Not released yet, but it's actively in progress.
Just tried it with my hotspot on - turns out it kind of already does. A hotspot is a WiFi network, so roamr saw it and recommended switching to it. It just can't see the cellular quality behind it, only the WiFi link.
