// the take
A small ASP.NET MVC/Core demo that streams CPU usage to a browser in real time using SignalR and Knockout.js. The README is a single line in Russian with no setup instructions, and the repo is really for someone looking for a minimal SignalR-plus-system-metrics example rather than anything production-ready.
- Shows a working SignalR hub (Hubs/CpuInfo.cs) pushing live data to a client, which is a reasonable pattern to reference if you're learning real-time push in ASP.NET
- Includes both an MVC and a Core variant plus a CpuInfoClient console app, so you can see the same client/server idea implemented a couple of different ways
- The repo bundles the full RTKLib GNSS positioning library source (hundreds of unrelated .c files for RTCM/GPS processing) and several committed binary .rtcm data files for no apparent reason — it's not clear what this has to do with a CPU monitor, and it bloats the clone for zero benefit
- No documentation beyond a one-line README: no build steps, no explanation of the RTKLib components, no screenshots
- Abandoned since December 2022 with only 5 stars — no indication it was ever used beyond a personal demo, and depends on old client libraries (jQuery 3.4.1, SignalR 2.4.1, Knockout 3.5.1) that are well past end of support
- No tests, no CI, and the vcxproj/csproj mix suggests this was a Visual Studio scratch project rather than something built for others to pick up and run
We read the README, the directory tree and a key source file in October 2026. Nobody pays to be listed. How we judge →
