I Built a Privacy-First, Human-Friendly Alternative to Wireshark in Rust & Tauri 🚀
Summary

NetPulse is a local-first, privacy-focused network observability platform built in Rust and Tauri that replaces Wireshark's raw packet hex with progressive disclosure interfaces. It features a narrative engine that correlates packets into human-readable story cards, automatic OS process attribution, and calibrated anomaly detection with confidence scores. The tool runs entirely on-device, avoiding cloud-based telemetry uploads while offering beginner-to-expert depth levels and an interactive curriculum for learning network protocols.
