A terminal UI tool that displays detailed socket statistics with explanations, replacing basic ss command usage.
neoss is a terminal user interface (TUI) tool that displays detailed statistics for TCP and UDP sockets, replacing the basic usage of the `ss` command. It provides an interactive, sortable view of socket data with explanations for protocols, connection states, port attributions, and more, making network monitoring more user-friendly.
System administrators, network engineers, and developers who need to monitor socket activity in a terminal environment and prefer an interactive interface over raw command output.
Developers choose neoss for its intuitive TUI that simplifies socket statistics viewing, offering detailed explanations and enhanced data like WHOIS lookups without sacrificing the power of traditional command-line tools.

Offers a clear terminal interface with sorting, refreshing, and navigation keys (e.g., 's' to sort, 'r' to refresh), making socket data more accessible than raw `ss` output.
Selecting any data point provides explanations for protocols, connection states, and port attributions, enhancing understanding without external lookups.
Includes domain resolution, WHOIS lookups for IPs/domains, and user info (PID, command line) directly in the TUI, streamlining network debugging.
Aims to replace basic `ss` usage with a visual approach, as stated in the README, making it suitable for both novice and experienced users.
The README admits it's for basic usage, so advanced `ss` features like socket filtering or detailed kernel statistics may be missing.
Requires npm for installation, adding overhead compared to native tools, and may not be available on all systems without Node.js setup.
As an interactive interface, it might struggle with very large socket datasets or fast refreshes, potentially lagging on resource-constrained systems.
The fixed TUI format restricts ability to customize views or export data in formats like JSON, reducing flexibility for power users.
