Python alternative available #14
Description
Hi! I loved HowOnline but ran into issues on modern macOS (Sonoma 14.x) - the airport command is deprecated and the Swift 2 code needed updating.
I created a Python alternative that works without Xcode: https://github.com/smorrel1/HowOnline-Python
It includes some extra features:
- Jitter monitoring (standard deviation of ping times)
- Packet loss percentage
- Color-coded quality (green/amber/red based on overall connection health)
- "Run Full Diagnosis" option using
mtr
Just needs pip install pystray pillow to run.
Thought others might find it useful while the Swift version is being updated. I also submitted PR #13 with Swift 5 fixes for the original app.
