kiq is a new administration interface for Sidekiq, a speedy terminal application based on Kerrick Long’s ratatui_ruby gem. You can try it out locally if you’re already running Sidekiq 8.1.

Really digging the text interface… it’s awesome :raising_hands:

The only caveat I’ve found so far is having to add ratatui_ruby as a dependency, because none of the projects I’m working actually use that gem, but not an issue.

Thanks Mike Perham for your incredible work with Sidekiq in general.
