We all know (and many of us use daily) k9s as a truly flagship CLI tool for Kubernetes. But what if someone were to reimagine it today?

Meet sofka, which reimplements a well-known tool using one generic object pipeline (instead of separate structs for each resource type) and Rust. It performs better and offers lots of features you might need, including:

- Powerful keyboard-based navigation with curated columns, custom views, drill-down navigation, horizontal scrolling, global fuzzy find, compact mode, and mouse support.
- Powerful metrics and health support, covering Pod health, live CPU and memory values, workload health at a glance, evidence-based explanation for unhealthy resources, hierarchical Xray view, watch notifications, and more.
- Extended diagnostic capabilities with incident bundles and snapshots capturing the current table view.
- Embedded Helm and GitOps integration.
- Various executable actions, such as file transfers, debugging containers and Pods, exploring PVC contents, and right-sizing requests.

What makes it different from k9s? Built-in Flux CD and Argo CD support, port-forwarding running in the background, bulk actions with multiselect, skins (12 are available), and more.
