Profile

I built pbar.io because I was tired of SSH'ing into servers to check if my data processing scripts were still running, or worse, having them finish/crash without knowing.It's a simple REST API that lets you create and update progress bars from anywhere. The same progress bar can be viewed as terminal output (with ANSI colors), in a browser, or consumed as JSON.I'm actually tracking this HN discussion with pbar. The progress bar increases with each comment - watch it live as we discuss!Web: https://pbar.io/Y8yg3BG Terminal: curl https://pbar.io/api/bars/Y8yg3BGMore features that emerged from my own use cases: - Hierarchical progress bars (parent bars auto-aggregate children) - Python package

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
