Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Neo VTop

A graphical activity monitor for the command line. A neo fork of vtop rewritten in TypeScript with updated dependencies.

Installation

Requires Node.js >= 24.

⚠️ If you have the legendary vtop installed, neo-vtop will replace the vtop command. Uninstall it first with npm uninstall -g vtop, or just let neo-vtop take over — it's more based anyway.

npm install -g neo-vtop

If you're on macOS, or get an error about file permissions, you may need to do sudo npm install -g neo-vtop. Don't do this if you're using nvm.

Running

neo-vtop
# or
vtop

If your muscle memory keeps typing top:

alias top="vtop"
alias oldtop="/usr/bin/top"

Keyboard shortcuts

  • Arrow up or k — move up the process list
  • Arrow down or j — move down
  • Arrow left or h — zoom graphs in
  • Arrow right or l — zoom graphs out
  • g — jump to top of process list
  • G — jump to bottom
  • dd — kill all processes in that group
  • c — sort by CPU
  • m — sort by memory
  • q / esc / Ctrl+C — quit

Mouse control

If your terminal supports mouse events (like iTerm) you can click items in the process list and use the scroll wheel. Disable with:

neo-vtop --no-mouse

Themes

neo-vtop --theme wizard

Themes live in the themes/ folder. Make your own and send a pull request.

alias vtop="vtop --theme brew"

FAQ

How does it work?

It uses drawille to draw CPU and memory charts with Unicode braille characters. Processes with the same name are grouped together.

The CPU % looks wrong.

CPU is calculated as a percentage of total system power across all cores and HyperThreads. 100% means all cores maxed out — this differs from how Activity Monitor on macOS reports it.

What about measuring server req/s, log entries, etc?

It's on the list. Feel free to send a pull request — check out the sensors/ folder.

What license is this under?

MIT — do what you like with it.
