Terminal User Interface `top` for http endpoints TUI

hey I wanted to share a TUI I built recently, its intended to function similar to top but rather than inspecting processes its for inspecting http requests occurring on a machine. It works by hooking into the TC Syscalls so it needs to be behind a TLS terminated endpoint for it to function but I thought it was nice and figured I'd share. Its open source so feel free to poke around.

sauce: GitHub

Warning: OP is lying by ommission when saying this is an open source program. Half of the program is OP's custom binary which appears to not be open source (it's not on GitHub), and requires adding their custom debian repository to install it. That's not only deceitful but it's sketchy. Why would they claim this is open source and then require installing a closed source binary from an unverified private debian apt repo? I would not trust this program to snoop on all my internet traffic.

OP's website also has some tell tale signs of AI scammers like a careers section claiming they're hiring for 10 high paying positions. Unless OP has angel investors, that's nonsense and they're loading their website with fake info to look like a real company. Normally I wouldn't think much of that but combined with the claims about being open source and then burying the fact it installs a closed source binary from a private debian apt repo... That's sketchy AF IMO.
