Show HN: K10s – A Clickable Kubernetes TUI (Go, Bubble Tea)

I really don't care to click anything in a terminal, and I don't understand why its being added more and more.

When Claude added it, I immediately hated it since you click into the terminal and accidentally click something.

https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/headlamp is a good established option for a clickable k8s UI

A clickable TUI is contrarian to why I use most CLI tools. Neat that they could build this, though, because it suits their needs.

I'm fine with K9s and lazygit key-driven interfaces.

I guess one thing that's good about a clickable TUI is that maybe it's easier to approach for some, wihtout releasing yet another memory hog Electron App?

My Pavlov reaction when I see the Claude icon next to the committer is: not touching this. Is trust in OSS now completely gone?

I hope vibecoding doesn't mean the concept of contributing upstream gets lost. At least some of this (mouse clicking) would have been a great upstream contribution instead of rewrite.

It would have been better if that opened a browser tab, one binary, much more flexibility and more elegant

> Nothing is hidden behind memorised keys

Why is this a good thing? Have a help you your access via ? and document what the keys are. Don't dumb the interface down.

I'm really surprised that "clickable tui" is grinding so many gears here. I've been using Linux for over 20 years. I love a good ol TUI. But nothing about clickability precludes a TUI from being useful. I love mouse support in tmux, for instance. I can shift-arrow my way around windows but I can also just click one (or tap one, if one a touch device). I do this all the time when controlling tmux from my iPhone. Why is this such a bad thing? It makes zero sense. Judge this tool on its merits of being a TUI for interacting with Kubernetes... not because it allows mouse input.

Maybe try sofka :-)

That's the actual k9s successor imho!

TUIs are such a complete fad which i’m getting annoyed with.

It seems we cannot move on from them and I think we should.

It is a shame because surely there must be something better than terminals and TUIs.

What is the difference from k9s from this vibecoded clone?

I wish we had a "cool" GUI toolkit. GUIs are way better at this stuff. Adding point and click is so close to being a GUI, the only possible reason this is a TUI is fashion.

You missed the chance to use kittens (k10s) as your TUI's icon.
