## What it is
A terminal-based telemetry dashboard for Node.js applications that shows realtime process metrics without code instrumentation. It renders charts and statistics in the terminal and splits stderr/stdout to surface errors quickly.

## Use cases
- monitor node.js process metrics in the terminal
- view realtime CPU and memory graphs for a node app during development
- spot errors sooner by splitting stderr and stdout
- inspect node process performance without adding instrumentation code
- run my dev server with a live stats dashboard

## When to choose
- you want zero-code realtime telemetry for a node.js app during local development
- you prefer terminal-based dashboards over browser-based monitoring UIs
- you need quick visibility into process stats while debugging

## When to avoid
- you need production monitoring or long-term metrics retention
- your stack is not node.js
- you need distributed tracing or multi-service observability
