Terminal Roundup 🤠
I'm constantly finding new tools to use in the terminal, so I figured it would be nice to make a post that highlights a few of my new favorites!
numr
If you've ever used numi then you'll feel right at home with this bad boy. Natural language text based calculator written in Rust, featuring live price conversions and VIM BINDINGS BABY. It absolutely slaps.
glances
This one is actually pretty popular and I assume has been around for a while; I just recently discovered it! Really cool way to visualize a mix of things like htop docker and more.
keysmasher
I love a good typing test; I use MonkeyType all the time, however there's just something about this TUI version that just slaps. Built with OpenTUI it's very smooth and I'm a huge fan.
systemctl-tui
I've been doing a lot more self hosting on my home server and most of my services are either systemd or docker. For systemd I've absolutely fallen in love with systemctl-tui for monitoring services.
ch.at
This one is pretty wild. It's labeled as "Universal Basic Chat," built in 1300 lines of Go as a single binary where you can do AI queries. It has a basic web interface that uses zero Javascript, and you can use it with cURL, but what you see in the screenshot is a DNS query. Yes, that's right: AI prompts over DNS... wild lol
Thats all for now, if you enjoyed this let me know and maybe I'll do another in the near future 🤠
