bb — your system's Big Brother
bb
simple process viewer (for functionalities, press h within bb or see shortcuts below)
This is a "weekend" side-project made for fun, but it ended up somewhat useful and fast. Performance seems on par with htop without having done any benchmarks, however in contrast to htop, bb doesn't leave artifacts when it redraws the screen. I am not completely sure this is htop's fault though, feel free to correct me.
