vtop

Why it worked

The video likely performed well because it offered a practical solution to a common developer pain point: the clunky interface of the 'top' command. By showcasing a visually superior alternative ('vtop') and highlighting its ease of use for process management, it provided immediate value to viewers interested in command-line tools and system monitoring.

Summary

The creator introduces vtop, a command-line tool that provides a more visually appealing and user-friendly interface for monitoring CPU usage compared to the traditional 'top' command. It allows users to easily identify and kill processes.

Transcript

If you checks the CPU usage from command line Usually when you want to kill some process we use the command top right but it's not very visually easy for humans it looks like something like this right but I was yesterday years old when I discovered this tool called vtop it runs on node so you have to have node installed but once you install it it looks like this like the visual just so much better represented and also you can just kill the process from this interface
