Show HN: Jack – a simple cross-platform CLI Multi-Tool for dev productivity

1•dimeskigj•1h ago
Hi HN,

I'm Gjorgji, and I built a tool called Jack. It's a small CLI that brings together a handful of terminal helpers (JSON formatting, UUID/QR generation, JWT inspection, etc.) into one cross-platform binary so you don't have to open random web tools for tiny tasks anymore.

I kept finding myself jumping between browser tools or different CLI utilities for trivial jobs and it felt slow and fragmented. Jack is my attempt to centralize those tiny helpers into one intuitive place.

I wrote more about my motivations here: https://www.dimeski.net/blog/why-i-made-jack

You can find the source, contribute and file issues on GitHub: https://github.com/dimeskigj/jack-cli

I'd love to hear feedback! Especially on use cases I haven't covered yet or ideas on how to make it more useful.

Thanks!
