    It's sad that they're archived the repo and maybe discontinue the project. Nevertheless I liked compactness of this app and giving basic info with that short and nice and clean text.

    Gives complete information on system hardware. Just pipe it to less to browse the information. Speccy formats this information well, but lshw seems to have as much info if you take the time to read it.
