A clean, lightweight, real-time ROS2 dashboard I built to answer the everyday questions every robotics developer has:

🔴 Which 𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 are alive and at what 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲?  
🔴 Who’s 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 / 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗴?  
🔴 What’s the actual 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘆?  
🔴 Which 𝗻𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀 provide which 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 & 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀?

🔧 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 that make daily debugging faster:  
• Live topic rates + delays  
• Pub/sub node visibility per topic  
• Services, actions & full node list  
• Freeze/Unfreeze to comfortably read long lists  
• Global search across everything

Built with 𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗽𝘆 + 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗣𝘆𝗚𝘂𝗶; minimal dependencies, runs fast even on embedded hardware.
