Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
Each module needs its own API tokens, so the real time cost is collecting credentials, not installing the binary.
WTF (also called wtfutil) is a personal information dashboard that runs inside your terminal, the command-line window that developers and tech-savvy users work in. Instead of opening multiple browser tabs or apps to check different things throughout your day, WTF lets you see everything at a glance in one customizable screen. The dashboard is built around modules, independent blocks of functionality that you turn on or off by editing a configuration file. Each module connects to a different service or data source and displays the results in its own panel on screen. The README lists examples like GitHub (open pull requests and issues), Google Calendar (upcoming events), HackerNews, security checks, and third-party service integrations. You choose which modules appear and arrange them however you like. WTF is written in Go and is distributed as a single standalone binary, meaning you download one file and run it, no complex installation required. It can also be installed through package managers. Configuration is done through a YAML file, a plain-text format that is human-readable, so you can customize the layout without writing code. You would use WTF if you spend a lot of time in the terminal and want a quick dashboard showing your calendar, alerts, open tasks, or service statuses without switching between different apps. It is free and open-source, maintained by volunteers.
