Show HN: Appstat - Process Monitor for Windows
Hey HN, I made a Windows process monitor for app developers and
advanced end users. I wanted a taskmgr system-level graph view per
app. Windows procmon, while capable, has always been tedious to set
up (esp. if not used often). That's pretty much the whole idea
behind the app--to simplify app-level monitoring, to make it easy.
I hope some of you find it useful!
