  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • stats

    macOS system monitor in your menu bar

  • I’ve found stats [1] to be a great open source alternative to the iStat Menus system monitor app mentioned in the article.

  • multiload-ng

    Modern graphical system monitor for any panel

  • InfluxDB

  • conky-seamod

    Seamod theme for conky 1.10 (lua config)

  • tophat

    View CPU, memory, disk, and network activity in the GNOME top bar.

  • And if you are a GNOME user, tophat is a very similar alternative to what the author suggests:

    https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/5219/tophat/

  • crev

    Socially scalable Code REView and recommendation system that we desperately need. See http://github.com/crev-dev/cargo-crev for real implemenation.

  • In other cases it may be more documented, such as Golangs baked-in telemetry.

    There should be better ways to check these problems. The best I have found so far is Crev https://github.com/crev-dev/crev/. It's most used implementation is Cargo-crev https://github.com/crev-dev/cargo-crev, but hopefully it will become more required to use these types of tools. Certainty and metrics about how many eyes have been on a particular script, and what expertise they have would be a huge win for software.

  • cargo-crev

    A cryptographically verifiable code review system for the cargo (Rust) package manager.
