Most terminal dashboards force a compromise: either they are fast but rigid (compiled C/Rust with fixed layouts and hardcoded charts), or they are extensible but slow (heavy Python or Electron apps).

To bridge this gap, I built Orbit ( https://github.com/ziuus/orbit-tui ) — an extensible, keyboard-driven developer dashboard and real-time system monitor written in Rust.

What Makes Orbit Different?

WASM Plugin Architecture : Write custom telemetry plugins or workspace integrations in any language that compiles to WebAssembly. Orbit dynamically loads them at runtime without recompiling the core binary.

Sub-millisecond Input Latency : Built with Ratatui and Crossterm using decoupled async background data pollers. UI rendering is locked at a steady 60 FPS while background workers stream stats.
