What is this?
tickrs shows realtime stock ticker data in your terminal, built in Rust, with quotes sourced from Yahoo! Finance.
Is this a website or desktop app, or does it run in my terminal?
It runs entirely in the terminal as a TUI (text user interface) app, built on the tui-rs library for Rust.
Do I need an account or API key to get the stock data?
No extra setup: quotes come straight from Yahoo! Finance, and the README mentions no account, API key, or other prerequisites.
Does it run the same on Windows?
Yes, but launch it from Windows Terminal — that is what the README recommends for the app to display properly.
What inspired tickrs?
The author credits ytop, a terminal system monitor by cjbassi, as the inspiration for the project.
Can I pass options on the command line?
Yes — tickrs has CLI usage, so you can launch it with command-line options in addition to its config file.
