Improve output readability #193

Open MarkoPaasila opened 3 years ago

beesstats.txt is hard to read. Event counters in particular. Could the readability be improved somehow? Maybe line breaks after each count. Thousands separators would help too, since understanding values with 5 or more digits requires extra effort.

I was always thinking about adding some tool like beestop which would watch and read that file (or maybe connect to some socket directly to pull it), and displaying it pseudo-graphically in a CUI client.

Such a tool would probably prefer reading plain numbers without fancy formatting.
