Stadal

A RPC-based client-server system status tools, with Rust + Electron architecture.

Architecture (design)

• RPC Server, (Using Rust) for read system status.
• RPC Client, (Using Rust to Node.js) for communication.
• UI Client, (Using Electron) for cross platform UI support.

Node.js

• neon Rust bindings for writing safe and fast native Node.js modules.

RPC

• tarpc is an RPC framework for rust with a focus on ease of use. Defining a service can be done in just a few lines of code, and most of the boilerplate of writing a server is taken care of for you.
• gRPC-rs is a Rust wrapper of gRPC Core. gRPC is a high performance, open source universal RPC framework that puts mobile and HTTP/2 first.

Refs:

• Xi Editor project is an attempt to build a high quality text editor, using modern software engineering techniques.
• Tray Electrorn An example app for building a native-looking Mac OS X tray app with a popover using Electron.

Stats Demo App:

• bottom A cross-platform graphical process/system monitor with a customizable interface and a multitude of features. Supports Linux, macOS, and Windows. Inspired by both gtop and gotop.
• Zenith In terminal graphical metrics for your *nix system written in Rust.

Dev Setup:

• Languages: https://github.com/starship/starship

System

• bandwhich is a CLI utility for displaying current network utilization by process, connection and remote IP/hostname.
• https://github.com/tbillington/kondo - Save disk space by cleaning non-essential files from software projects.

Documents

Library:

• heim is an ongoing attempt to create the best tool for system information fetching (ex., CPU, memory, disks or processes stats) in the Rust crates ecosystem.
