I built krust because I kept hitting the same pain: Kubernetes terminal tools that felt slow on large clusters, or useful features gated behind paid tiers. I love k9s, but for my clusters, it is not as fast as I like it to be.

This is my attempt at an alternative:

- Rust-native TUI focused on low latency

- k9s-compatible navigation and commands (no plugin system though)

- multi-context + large-cluster oriented

- logs/streaming, describe/edit/apply, secret decode, readonly/guarded mutation flows

It’s still early, and I’m sure there are rough edges. I’d really value community feedback, especially from people running many clusters/resources.

If this helps you, great. If it doesn’t yet, I’d appreciate blunt feedback on what to fix next.
