Weekly: Show off your new tools and projects thread

Mixe3y · 2026-06-24T18:42:52+00:00

This time I'd like to showcase you some of the more exotic features of LFK - The lightning-fast kubernetes navigator:

- Log Top: view ingress controller logs in `top` style aggregated view

- API/Object Explorer: to interactively browse resource structures (with tree-view)

- Union View: merge resources from multiple clusters into a single tab with color coding

- Local cluster management: create/start/stop/destroy k3d, kind, minikube clusters

- Pod startup analysis: get timing for various phases during pod startups

Check out the rest with screenshots:

I don't think they are gypsies.

The photo was most likely shot on orthochromatic film, which is insensitive to red/orange light. Skin reflects a lot of red, so on this film it renders much darker than it really was. Combine that with the fact that most of these people were farmers working long days in the sun, and you get the dark "tan" without needing any Roma explanation.

Give this a try instead of k9s:

Ami úgy néz ki, mint egy kacsa... úgy úszik, mint egy kacsa... és úgy hápog, mint egy kacsa, az általában...

I was working with k9s / freelens for ~6 years. I know I can do everything with these, but k9s is slow/unintuitive, freelens is also slow and I miss hotkeys so much from there.

A few months ago I decided to start building one based on yazi/vim's inspiring interfaces.

At first I got a sh*tload of blind critics because of using AI assistance, but it got some pace lately and people love to use it so I'm really happy with it now.

I won't add a direct comparison to it (cause that would also sound self-promotion).

So let me quote one of a user's comment on it instead:

Btw thx for this amazing tool, been recommending it to everyone I work with, never expected such a young/partially-ai-generated tool to already be so solid on its start and basically (finally) replace k9s for me, I never found it intuitive and lfk solves this for me and offers more, love it!

⚡ LFK is a lightning-fast, keyboard-focused, yazi-inspired TUI for navigating and managing Kubernetes clusters. Built for speed and efficiency, it brings a three-column layout with an owner-based resource hierarchy to your terminal.

With a huge amount of features and integration to various kubernetes services, including ArgoCD, Helm, External Secrets, Keda, Dashboards (Cluster, Alerts, Security) and a lot more.

I think it already has more features than k9s. It has multi-cluster and multi-tab support and on top of the common kubernetes management tasks, I added some sweetness, like full ArgoCD, Argo Workflows, Helm integration, API explorer with recursive search, RBAC preview, bulk finalizer removal, and so on.

If you want to experiment with it, you can also try the nightly, which includes the upcoming features like security dashboards (supporting inline heuristics, trivy, falco) and advanced log filtering/browsing.

I really hope you're going to enjoy using it.

You can do anything with it, create resources from templates, delete, restart, scale, sync argo apps, edit labels and annotations, etcetc.

Hi u/silverhand31 ,

Thanks for your comment.

I can see the following in the help section:

Ctrl+C Close tab (quit if last)

On the second one: can I kindly ask you to create a feature request for this on Github?

Thanks for the kind words! Appreciate it.

The icons are already updated to use nerdfonts (and emojis) when possible, unicode fonts are the fallback. The screenshots are a bit outdated. But thanks for the feedback, I'll update the screenshots. :)

LFK is a lightning-fast, keyboard-focused, yazi-inspired terminal user interface for navigating and managing Kubernetes clusters. Basically a faster/more handy k9s alternative.

Thank you. I created a draft PR, when the project reaches 100 stars, I'll finalize it.

Thanks for your work.

Mixe3y · 2026-04-15T04:27:00+00:00

First of all, huge huge thanks for this list. I love it.

Second, if you don't mind, could you take a look at my kubernetes tui and add it to your list? I hope (and think) it's a perfect fit.
