Is there an option to disable the table mode (or at least horizontal lines, don't care about the others)? It's a lot of wasted space in the terminal if you have lots of connections open.
i’ve typed netstat -pna so many times in my life using something else would totally ruin me
How is it possible to live without aliases? Typing the original command every time, even though history lookup may help, would totally ruin me.
I have `netstat -lntpu` aliased as `nst`. (Along with `s` as `sudo`.)
Not that `ss` from iproute2 is a newer alternitive to `netstat`. (The common cli flags are the same though, so not better in that regard.)
Rust S2
Very nice. I constantly struggle to remember the correct parameters to netstat and this seems to return the information that I need in 90% of my use cases.

I find the output of `ss` very hard to read in comparison to netstat.
It has some cool capabilities though
It can show you per socket skbuf memory usage and receive buffer drops (which netstat reports globally)
Think it should be explicitly stated that it is not available on Mac OS as procfs does not support it
Readme only mentions linux, so why bother mentioning Mac OS?
README also leads with a screenshot that has macOS window styling. So, "works on Mac" is a reasonable first impression to draw.
There are MacOS-like themes available. Eg: https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1275087/
Nobody is questioning what themes are available on gnome. Including a screenshot of the software running in a window that very much looks like macOS X is simply misleading.
Cause it's obviously a Rust crate, you would kinda hope that it might compile at MacOs. In 99% of cases that works.
If a Rust crate uses anything from the OS, and doesn't mention that OS, I wouldn't expect it to work on that OS, regardless if it's Windows, Linux or macOS. Just like graphical crates state what APIs they support, and if Metal is not mentioned for example, it is most likely not supported.
The title `A human-friendly alternative to netstat for socket and port monitoring on Linux` is pretty clear.
