mdncomp gives web developers a handy tool to see browser compatibility data right on the CLI. It currently covers APIs, CSS, HTML, HTTP, JavaScript, MathML, SVG, WebDriver, WebExtensions, XPath and XSLT.

dategrep reads a file and prints every line with a timestamp that falls into a user defined time range. When invoked on a normal file, dategrep uses a binary search to find the first matching line. The usefulness of this is perhaps best understood by seeing a few examples: dategrep --start "12:00" --end "12:15" syslog dategrep --end "12:15" --format "%b %d %H:%M:%S" syslog dategrep --last-minutes 5 syslog cat syslog | dategrep --end "12:15"

Looks cool, but mind the disclaimer: The project is still under alpha, there are lots of things already done, but there is also a lot of work to do! If you want to help, please contact me under marcelocamargo@linuxmail.org or create an issue! Working in community, we can soon have a CLI client as complete as the web one!

lazygit is a simple terminal UI for git commands, written in Go with the gocui library. They had me sold at "lazy" 😉

Klaus Sinani strikes again! By utilizing a simple and minimal usage syntax, that requires a flat learning curve, taskbook enables you to effectively manage your tasks and notes across multiple boards from within your terminal. This is like having your own personal Trello right there in the terminal!

A dependency-free port of the asciichart library. It includes a CLI for feeding it data directly.

This post is a simple, step-by-step explanation of how Patrick created 'an insanely simple “did” file accessible by terminal'. What's interesting about it to me is not how to do it, but the idea of doing it itself. His motiviation: Time flies by when you’re learning how to code. Its super important to take a second every once in a while to simple write down what you did during the past mental sprint. Writing down what you learned solidifies the knowledge. This is a great truth, and one that applies far beyond learning how to code. Sometimes we need a did.txt just to recognize how much we've accomplished recently. For me, there are days when I get to the end and feel like I didn't really accomplish much. If I'd catalogued my wins throughout the day as they occurred (no matter how small), I bet I'd feel different about that. However, I'm both busy and lazy (a hellacious pairing) and wouldn't keep up with this habit unless it were dead simple. Patrick's 'did.txt' solution is about as simple as it gets...

Cheat.sh is a curl based cheat sheet, with cheat sheets for over 50 languages, 1,000 Unix/Linux commands, and the ability to search StackOverflow that promises to remain fast (responses in 100ms).

Lynx, eat your heart out. Browsh renders anything that a modern browser can; HTML5, CSS3, JS, video and even WebGL. Run it as a TTY client or a browser client with an emphasis on reducing bandwidth costs and increasing browsing speed. I have to admit, our podcasts page looks pretty tight all pixelated like that.

The overall purpose of Neofetch is to be used in screen-shots of your system. Neofetch shows the information other people want to see. There are other tools available for proper system statistic/diagnostics. Supports almost 150 different operating systems, so odds are it has you covered. Check my results below. Pretty decent uptime for a laptop, no?

As we know, an "Ask HN: Who is Hiring?"(example) post will occur at hackernews every month. It is interesting to scan the post because it helps you to get a feeling about what is happening in tec related busness. Aim of this repo is to give you a feeling about how the tec job requirements/used tools/kind/... evolves. React and Blockchain jobs on the rise...

Upload a file using curl: curl --upload-file ./hello.txt https://transfer.sh/hello.txt And the response will be a shareable URL, e.g. https://transfer.sh/eibhM/hello.txt Works with files up to 10GB, deletes them after 14 days, costs nothing, and encrypts everything. Super cool! 😎

Uses tf-idf and cosine similarities.

Alex Ward: Ety uses research data that was scraped from Wiktionary so you can discover and visualise the history of words. Just pip install ety and you have easy access to word histories from your command line.

MagiCLI was built to expand the use of npm modules. When all modules can be executed via CLI, npm becomes a source for anyone who wants to find a solution ti be run from a terminal and also for those who would like to call an existing solution written in Node.js from a program written in another language. For even more context, check out the intro post on Hacker Noon.

I use the history command all the time, but I've never really dug in to it to see what all is possible. If you're in a similar spot, this article by Steve Morris is a good primer. 👌

Provide this tool the Google API url for a web font and it will download it for offline use and self-hosting. Why might you want to do that? It's not clear yet if Google Fonts are EU GDPR compliant (see this issue). This may be a good reason to download the Google Fonts you use on your server.

Hackable and configurable to the core, signale can be used for logging purposes, status reporting, as well as for handling the output rendering process of other node modules and applications.

A small utility to convert Unix lsof output to a graph showing FIFO and UNIX interprocess communication. This is written in Lua, but there are also Python and Perl ports because according to the author, "It seems that Lua was an unfortunate choice, since people keep sending me links to ports in other languages." Ouch. What's with all the Lua hate?

Project-specific REPLs for Node.js I'm a bit surprised this functionality isn't in the box, nonetheless: local-repl saves you from typing out imports every time you open a new Node.js REPL. You specify the modules and objects that you want to automatically import in either package.json or .replrc.js. It also lets you use await in the REPL without wrapping your code in async functions. That sounds quite nice.

Install this and leave your co-workers asking, "where does s/he get those wonderful toys?"

Transforms JSON into discrete assignments to make it easier to grep for what you want and see the absolute 'path' to it. It eases the exploration of APIs that return large blobs of JSON but have terrible documentation. Also works in reverse, so you can turn your filtered data back in to JSON.

Consola boasts ease of use, fancy logging (seen below) with CI fallbacks, globally mockable stdout/error wrappers, and more.

Olivier Lacan on why we should all stop using cd and start using j (a.k.a. autojump). I've been wasting soooo many keystrokes over the years! 😱

Responsive images are essential to any image-heavy website with an eye on performance. Due to the large variety of viewport sizes and device pixel ratios, they are also very time-intensive to test. Luckily, the heroes over at Filament Group have built a tool to help make the testing process easier. A command line tool to measure the efficiency of your responsive image markup across viewport sizes and device pixel ratios. I assume the project name is a nod to weirdo musician and tech experimenter Imogen Heap.
