short_description: Terminal toolkit for real-time system monitoring, thermal intelligence, and hardware benchmarking.
-
description: Guro is an open-source system diagnostics and performance monitoring toolkit built for developers, DevOps engineers, and power users. It provides real-time insights into CPU, memory, disk, network, thermal sensors, and running processes through an intuitive terminal interface. The toolkit also includes benchmarking and hardware analysis capabilities to help identify bottlenecks and performance issues. Designed to be lightweight and cross-platform, Guro enables deeper visibility into system health without requiring heavyweight monitoring solutions.

short_description: Preview and validate social link cards locally before deployment with instant multi-platform rendering.
-
description: PREVU is a desktop application and CLI tool that helps developers preview and validate Open Graph metadata before publishing their websites. It allows users to visualize how links will appear across platforms such as LinkedIn, X, Discord, Facebook, and WhatsApp, including support for localhost and staging URLs. The tool simplifies debugging social sharing metadata by providing instant previews and validation feedback. By catching metadata issues early in development, PREVU helps ensure a consistent and professional sharing experience across platforms.
How to support
Use the projects, share feedback, report issues, and contribute improvements through PRs.
A small brief about your project
Guro is a Python-powered alternative to htop, built for developers who want real-time system monitoring, benchmarking, and hardware insights from a clean terminal interface.
One FOSS maintainer lesson for your younger self
Don't wait for perfection before shipping. Publishing early and learning from user feedback accelerates both the project and your growth as a maintainer.
Why do you do it? Why do you bother maintaining a FOSS project?
I maintain open-source projects because I enjoy building tools that help other developers solve real problems. It's also a way to give back to the ecosystem that has taught me so much throughout my journey.
If your repo had a theme song, what would it be?
Illuminati from 'Aavesham'
Which file in your project would you most like to set on fire?
heatmap.py (because, that measure the heat on the hardware, right?!)
What's your open-source villain origin story?
I got tired of solving the same problem repeatedly and couldn't find a tool that worked exactly the way I wanted, so I built one. Then people started using it, and now I can't stop maintaining it.
If you had to use one emoji to convey what it is like to be a FOSS maintainer, what would it be?
