Ask HN: What are interesting do you know any terminal utilities?

5•FerkiHN•3h ago
The terminal is a very cool place, you can perform a bunch of actions in one command, but of course it is also fashionable to download utilities in the terminal, and some of them are very strange and some are very useful and interesting.

What are interesting do you know any terminal utilities?

Not so interesting, but strange: I built itter.sh
FerkiHN•3h ago
Why, it's quite an interesting thing, as it were HN in terminal, looks cool, maybe I'll try it sometime.

I also do interesting things, you can also check out their other ones:

btw: you may want to correct the grammar in the title: "What are interesting terminal utilities that you know?"

Since you asked on Hacker News, I will plug my "unl" command-line utility which finds active discussions:

This is not the only CLI HN client, nor is it the best, here are a few others I've seen:

Your utility sounds like something incredible, it's strange that I've never thought about such things.
