Research direction
Review the comments on this issue for any prior discussion about web service implementation. Explore the bpytop codebase to understand the current architecture and identify where a web server could be integrated. Consider using a lightweight Python web framework like Flask or FastAPI to expose system metrics via REST API. Check if there are any existing PRs or forks that attempted this.
