WTF is a personal information dashboard for your terminal, developed for those who spend most of their day in the command line.

It allows you to monitor services and systems that you otherwise might keep browser tabs open for, the kinds of things you don't always need visible, but might check in on every now and then.

Quick Start

1. Download the stand-alone, compiled binary.
2. Unzip the downloaded file.
3. From the command line, cd into the newly-created /wtf directory.
4. From the command line, run the app: ./wtf

This should launch the app in your terminal using the default simple configuration. See Configuration for more details.
