Description
I built a terminal UI for browsing Grafana dashboards. It connects to any Grafana instance and lets you explore dashboards without leaving the terminal.It renders the most common panel types (time series, bar charts, gauges, heatmaps etc.). You can change the time range, set dashboard variables and filter series.I built this because I spend most of my day in the terminal and wanted a quick way to glance at dashboards without switching to the browser. It's not perfect by any means, but it's a nifty and useful tool.Built with Go, Bubble Tea, ntcharts, and Claude (of course). You can install it via Homebrew: brew install lovromazgon/tap/grafana-tui ... and try it out against Grafana's public playground: grafana-tui --url https://play.grafana.org

Could you build this?
Yes A terminal UI (using libraries like Ratatui, Bubbletea, or Textual) that consumes the Grafana REST API and plots time-series metrics into terminal graphs is standard API-client development.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a observability & eval tool for Media & entertainment yet.
