DESCRIPTION
Metropolis is a high-performance system monitor written in Rust that transforms your kernel metrics into a living, breathing cyberpunk skyline.
Traffic, weather, and neon signage dynamically react to real-time CPU, RAM, and Disk I/O data, replacing traditional terminal tables with immersive procedural animation.
Built with Ratatui, it is fully customizable through user-defined themes, config files, and runtime CLI flags to fit any terminal aesthetic.
