Vim-style key bindings enable rapid keyboard-driven navigation and interaction, as highlighted in the README for a seamless terminal experience inspired by tools like htop.
Supports both CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap APIs, providing flexibility and redundancy for real-time cryptocurrency data, ensuring reliable stats even if one API is down.
Offline cache allows access to cached data without an internet connection, a key feature mentioned in the README for uninterrupted monitoring during network issues.
Designed to be fast and minimal, it can run indefinitely with low resource usage, as stated in the features, making it ideal for background terminal sessions.
Relies on third-party APIs with potential rate limits or downtime, which can affect real-time data accuracy and availability, a risk not fully mitigated by offline cache.
Terminal-based charts and interfaces are constrained to text and basic graphics, lacking the detail and interactivity of web-based dashboards, which may hinder in-depth analysis.
Customizing key bindings and colorschemes requires editing configuration files manually, which can be non-trivial for users unfamiliar with terminal app setups, as indicated in the docs.
