@ljs this is also useful for kernel testing, CI stuff and alike. I wonder if it could publish the data in structured formats (json et al). have to check at some point.

@jarkko yeah does it do more than ncurses though? As that's necessarily interactive

@jarkko 100% this is great, I normally give quick 'do you know about' posts a go just to see if it's any good, did yours and realised that I need this in my life

@ljs ace! yeah same feeling. i'm so used to seeing these type of "space lenses" as GUI applications that with my limited creativity could not imagine this. did not know that i needed this handy little tool desperately :-)

@ljs apparently it has this:

-o FILE
           Export all necessary information to FILE instead of opening the browser interface. If
           FILE is "-", the data is written to standard output.  See the examples section below
           for some handy use cases.

meaning that probably the maintainer does not get upset of submitting patches enabling e.g. JSON output json-c, I’d suppose…
