prettyping
A wrapper that makes ping output prettier, colorful, compact, and easier to read.
What is prettyping?
prettyping is a command-line utility that wraps the standard ping tool to enhance its output with visual improvements. It makes ping responses easier to read by displaying them graphically with colors and Unicode characters, helping users quickly interpret network latency and packet loss. It solves the problem of dense, monochrome ping output by providing a more intuitive and compact display.
System administrators, network engineers, and developers who frequently use ping for network diagnostics and want a more readable, visual representation of results in the terminal.
Developers choose prettyping because it enhances a ubiquitous tool with no learning curve, works across multiple platforms and awk implementations, and requires no installation beyond a single script. Its unique selling point is transforming plain ping output into an accessible, color-coded visual display without altering core functionality.
