Show HN: Brr – beautiful terminal speed tests

Hacker News - Wed, 02/18/2026 - 8:23am

Hey HN, I wanted a speed test I could run from the terminal that wasn't ugly. So I built one.

It's a Go TUI (Bubble Tea) that runs against Cloudflare's speed test infrastructure. No API keys, no accounts, fun UI.

One thing I added that I've found genuinely useful: it also pings during the throughput test and compares idle vs loaded latency, which gives you a rough bufferbloat grade. Handy for figuring out why your Zoom calls lag even when speedtest.net says you're fine.
