Building from Scratch: Introducing Syslens, a Linux System Info Tool

​In the world of Linux, there are plenty of great tools for fetching system information. So, why build another one? For me, the answer is simple: I wanted to see if I could.
​I’ve always been curious about how these tools work under the hood. To me, every project is a skill test—a way to challenge myself and create something that is uniquely mine. Syslens is the result of that curiosity.
​What is Syslens?
​Syslens is a lightweight, CLI-based tool designed to display your essential Linux system information in a clean, colorful, and easy-to-read format. No clutter, just the data you need.
​Key Features
​Clean UI: Simple, organized layout using standard terminal colors.
​Essential Stats: Quickly view your OS version, Kernel, CPU details, RAM usage, and Uptime.
​Lightweight: Built with efficiency in mind, written in C.
Final Thoughts
​Building Syslens was a great exercise in interacting with the Linux filesystem and handling system calls. If you're a developer, I highly recommend building your own version of the tools you use every day—it's the best way to level up.
