If you watched Mr. Robot, you may remember Elliot saying something like: “I’m not sure when he saw a console last time.”
Even though I work in product, I keep WezTerm or tmux warm. I use the terminal to inspect files, run services, commit changes, and occasionally connect to the physical and virtual servers I have running. After getting tired of looking up SSH commands, checking server health manually, and searching for the same services again and again, I built Nexoder. It has a clean TUI, stores everything locally, checks server health, shows key stats, lets me manage services, and keeps frequently used ones close at hand.
I still haven’t decided whether to open-source it or turn it into a small product. For now, it simply sits in my toolbelt and does exactly what I need. Sometimes building your own tool is faster and more satisfying than searching for the perfect existing solution or learning to live with its compromises. – P.S: And yes, I checked the screenshot and stuff to not to reveal any sensistive data. There is also a gatekeeper I have running on my machine that give a green-light to all of the outgoing comms 🤓
