honestly,
this started as just me messing around wanting to parse out information from a miner. I currently don't know of any options that supports many different mining clients, in fact most of the ones I see around are restricted to CGminer.
the project will be entirely open source when its ready, but I wanted to limit exposure while its still very crudely put together.
I also believe that many of the current options get caught in the fact that they are too over the top complicated for many people to use. mine simply has a login button and a drop down menu, and does everything else autonomously. you don't need to SSH in, or setup firewalls rules, it just works.
