Latest version of LN-term

Posted 12 days ago by nakoshi-satamoto

LN-term was originally announced in this post https://lightningnetwork.plus/posts/534. At the time ln-term was in testing phase, and the git repo was blocked by github in mistake. After multiple updates and improvements and testing, I no longer consider LN-term to be beta software. LN-term can be downloaded here https://github.com/nakoshi-satamoto/ln-term

LN-term is a simple shell script to serve the role as a terminal interface dashboard for Core Lightning.
 
LN-term shows alot of useful information at a glance including a list of all channels and the balance on each side of the channels. Along with the ability to input labels in place of public IDs for nodes. LN-term has almost no dependencies, the only dependency being jq for working with json output. As such, this script does not have a software supply chain risk with massively horrendous dependency trees like python applications do. The code being a shell script, is transparent and also aims to be tiny so that it is very easy to audit easily and rapidly. The comments and documentation within the script are more than the actual lines of code itself. In fact, the actual number of lines of code in this script are around just 40 lines currently.
